The bickering seemed to go on and on with no quarter given.

Neither opponent was willing to concede, and escalation seemed imminent. The subject is minor to anyone observing but vital to the warriors. As they stared each other down, on the brink of war the mediator stepped in and defused an eminent battle with a wave of a hand and authority in their stance.

The voice is calm but full of purpose. Each opponent is addressed, with a fixed gaze toward its antagonist. Gradual dawning presents each soldier with an alternate course of action, and they quickly agree to this new directive.

Phew! Catastrophe averted!

Harmony was quickly restored, refreshingly accepted, and happily embraced. The mother proudly acknowledges her toddler’s growing wisdom as they follow her instructions.

And just like that! With innocent enthusiasm and glee, they are free to enjoy each other’s company. That safe space boundaries bring with it as if nothing had ever happened. 

Another victory for peace!
