Stand under a sky full of stars for one minute. Your group chat drama will shrink to its actual size.

Scale is hard to feel from inside a small room. Whatever has your attention expands to fill the available space, so a disagreement between four people can occupy an entire week without ever being that large. Standing under something genuinely big does not solve the problem, it restores proportion, and proportion is most of what was missing.

Go outside at night this week without your phone in your hand and stay a minute longer than feels necessary. Let the thing you have been turning over come to mind while you are out there. Notice what size it is when you walk back in.
