Shownotes Transcript

In German there is a saying that goes like this: "They are no good to eat cherries with.". You say this when you don't get on well with someone. The expression comes from the Middle Ages. At that time cherries were very rare and expensive. Only richer people could afford them. If they met to eat cherries together and discovered guests who had not been invited, they would spit cherry stones and stems at them until they left. It was not good to eat cherries with them. We still have this binary classification today: ally or enemy. But maybe today it's time to cross that line and "offer cherries to unwanted guests". Be open to what happens then. Maybe you will make new friends with whom you will enjoy sharing and eating cherries in the future. Love overcomes and heals.

I wish you an extraordinary day!
