“Our relationships are our biosphere. We don’t manage them from above or below; we live inside them. You can choose, for instance, to pollute your biosphere with a fit of temper over here. But you’ll breathe in your partner’s withdrawal or resentment over there. You and they are a linked ecosystem. There is no escape.”
