There is a holy art of subtraction.

Today, let’s reflect on what truly deepens our relationships. Not just getting along… but being part of something larger together. So often we pour nearly all our attention into the relationship itself, but what if we lifted our gaze and asked, What is this relationship for? From a Swedenborgian perspective, real connection flourishes when love and wisdom unite in use, or loving service. That sacred trinity – love, wisdom, and use – gives relationships purpose beyond daily disagreements or compatibility. It’s not about fixing every issue, but about serving side by side, looking outward. Even small shared acts like volunteering at a fair or preparing a meal for those in need, shift the entire dynamic. As Swedenborg wrote, “use is the doing of good from love by means of wisdom” (Divine Love and Wisdom §241). That outward focus infuses relationships with peace and vitality. When we step into service together, we don’t just fix what’s broken…we discover what we’re really here for.

Discover how love, wisdom, and use shape truly lasting relationships. Through service, purpose, and spiritual connection.

In life, it is hard for us to imagine that the end of one thing - if we grieve that ending - might be the beginning of something else. But that seems to be how God works.

We live in an economic system based on "attention." There is a different kind of curiosity.
