Walk across Montreat Rd. from Beech St. to my church, The Unitarian Universalist Congregation of the Swannanoa Valley 

Holiday Wreathes were still up when this sunbeam-blessed photo was taken.

"We are each other's harvest; we are each other's business; we are each other's magnitude and bond."

Gwendolyn Brooks

Ms. Brooks speaks very poetically, but what does "magnitude and bond" mean?  For me it tends to say we make the other bigger, but also hold them back, or set limits.  What do you think?
