I crunched into one of the big, green grapes that Gran gave me.

It tasted like the perfect combination of superior genetics, good agriculture and optimal ripeness.

Gran had had a rough year – her brother, all her old friends and even her pet cat had died.

“We went to inspect a new apartment for Tom in Richmond”, Mum said.

I felt gratitude welling up inside me, or maybe it was love.

My framework teaches that “attention grows” and this feeling was something I would like to grow more – so I surrendered to the feeling of love.

But that seems to have thrown a spanner into the works of the decades-old family dynamics, like a non-sequitur.

“Damn, must I must have made things awkward”, I thought to myself, feeling vulnerable.

Based on the bible itself, Levitism is a set of principles which are meant to be universal.

Principles are great in theory, but being universal in a specific situation carries the risk of awkwardness.

However, a new principle is to acknowledge strengths, so I acknowledged my courage and that made me feel more self-assured.

As Mum and I were reversing out of the driveway some time later, Gran blew me a kiss that felt like hard work.

The next day, I felt that, while introducing love to an everyday interaction can feel turbulent, it may actually be universally appropriate.
