The Seven Questions and Answers

When trying to learn about power it is hard to find a place to begin.

Our lives are hip-deep in power dynamics - there is no shortage of things we can talk about.

Events, news, relationships, work and play all seem to have power in them. Power dynamics spin around you like bees on clover. Round and round. Never ending. Always there. Not slow enough to get a real picture of what is happening. But never so fast that we lose sight of it. Control, Influence and Seduction - the dynamics of your relationships - Pushing, Pointing and Pulling you round and round. Frustrating and confusing. Never ending. No way to stop it long enough to get a good look...

Finding that first thing to get a handle on - to stop the spinning - now that's a tough one.

You can see the power. You can feel it even more. You see it in the way everyone treats you. And you see it in the way you treat others. You know it begins and ends somewhere but you can't find that break.

There must be a seam in this web of power you are caught it. But where is it?
