Chris's experience and words came at the right moment in my life. It was during a Guitar Craft course in Tepoztlán, Mexico, at a personal meeting where we were discussing various aspects and experiences about the Act of Marriage. A year later, I met Chris again at a Guitar Craft course in Argentina. This time, it was a group meeting with my wife, and Chris's words brought plenty of light to the moment we were going through. Right after the course, he sent us a draft copy of his book, the email was titled "Many Words and Pictures".
Turning into Each Other is Love in motion; it is love as a verb. This book shatters the conception of love as a noun, as a thing, or as something that belongs to someone. The clichés that are so deeply ingrained in our culture, where "...they lived happily ever after," make no sense when the relationship is understood as a process that is constantly evolving. This applies to personal relationships of any kind and, by extension, to groups. The possibility to observe and understand relationships as a process in action, and to identify where we are in it, is a gift that anyone who reads this book can receive.
