If I empower you, I disempower you

If I think I am giving you power you lack, then I am saying I have it and you lack it. If I empower you, I disempower you. One writer says that pure presence is the way to empower someone, with which I do partially agree: Present your presence to me and I find my own power.

This is something that is going on in open space: we are present to one another, so we are releasing from each other our power.

A way around the singular “their”

Here is a way around the singular “their” as in “If you want someone to X, first get their attention.” The way is to make it personal—“someone” is impersonal—so it becomes “If you want me to X, first get my attention.” It is an exemplary me, which gives us shorter sentences, grammatically correct. Useful thing.
