A coworker of mine made a comment recently that she saw us walking with my husband hand in hand, in beaming harmony, even our steps were aligned.
I didn’t tell her, but actually our steps are aligned because I align them - I adjust my rhythm so it matches my husband’s.
A small example that harmony requires work.
