I can imagine the effort it must have taken to express this important but simple relationship. I've always felt it from my childhood as a truth but never been that good at explaining it

Now I'm the South of India it felt chaotic but there was definitely a pattern, a flow that came from shared responsibility. It was your responsibility to not hit the person in front of or beside you. All else was noise.

I love your metaphor: so clear and intense! I am going to … reuse it (with attribution). :-)

Good analogy, made me think of the pizza delivery scenes in Snowcrash. I have a shaky relationship with authority because more often than not it has been about control and oversight when I always felt like I'd put in the work to earn nurturing and trust instead. I want my leader's to be my mentors, not my micromanaging overlords. From what I've experienced in my career, too many people who end up in positions of power and influence just don't understand the power of trust, keeping an open mind, and letting people shine their own light.
