Love this metaphor Wes and especially your suggestions to apply it to our relationships. I would say I started my life as a parent as someone who was willing but not able. That may in fact describe most parents. The ability comes after the willingness. I far prefer that mode and the learning and discovery that comes with it than finding myself able but not willing. Re actual passenger aircraft, I would never choose proximity to the bathroom on a flight under any circumstances. I'd rather be tasked with suddenly having to fly the plane than sit back there.

Thanks for sharing. I feel that way now. I appreciate you taking the analogy further, Captain Lewis!
