Hi Joe,
can we pick up on the thread of all living systems living in dynamic
tension--which I agree with. I would like to understand your offering of
"between the forces of continuity and forces of change". I see continuity
and change as similar to each other, part of the same force. I would love to
hear more.

Bert,  My experience is that all living systems live in a dynamic tension
between the forces of continuity and the forces of change.  It is
predictable
that movement in one direction creates a balancing response in another.  The
important thing is that people trust each other enough (or at least they
fell
safe enough) to keep talking genuinely.  I would suggest that you normalize
what they are experiencing. Your calm presence in the midst of their anxiety
will be a great resource.
Joe
