Getting to know your peers
What we know about individuals, no matter how rich the details, will never give us the ability to predict how they will behave as a system.
Once individuals link together they become something different…Relationships change us, reveal us, evoke more from us.
Only when we join with others do our gifts become visible, even to ourselves.---Unknown
