"It's not what you look at that matters, its what you see."         Henry Thoreau

History often repeats itself and this can be an issue when the same disruptive patterns of being in relationship and living our lives happens over and over again.  Being curious is an opportunity to experience these same disruptive patterns as learning opportunities with endless possibilities to grow in relationships and live a satisfying life.
