Malcolm Gladwell talks of interactional synchrony in his book, 'The Tipping Point.'
There is a rhythm to our interactions with others, be this by body or spoken language. Some draw us, others repel us. Towards some there may be polite relating, at other times, indifference.
When someone, in graciousness, is quick to hear our call, drawing near to us, this synchrony is set on its course and we in turn are drawn. There is a joyous response by those who know they are heard and understood. This gives freedom, the assurance of a safe haven. Also lightness of spirit and the joy to dance through life.
Through this we are able to draw others to dance with us. And so the circle never ends.
Isn't this perhaps the heart of true Christianity?
