A friend recently sent me this story about a Bridge and a Rope. It is a fable, according to the internet, written by Rabbi Edwin Friedman....and told in a book about changing lives.
The story talks about a man crossing a bridge and encountering another person, causing a very difficult and conflicting situation and eventually a powerful decision.
It really hits home about things discussed on this forum relating to boundaries, painful, but important decisions, detachment, etc.
Hope you read the story and post a few lines about what you think. If this link doesn't work, I'm sure you can find it by just putting into google something like "bridge and rope story."
