What is this?

Relationship is an interdependent connection between two or more entities that manifests through their physical, emotional and/or spiritual interactions and transactions. It is a system, an ecology - a reciprocal energy, transaction and exchange between or among people, places, things, or ideas. It is also a type of intelligence that can be observed, examined and mapped within communities, societies and the environment. In order to better understand relationships, we must understand the context in which they exist - the ways that various forms of energy, communication, and knowledge are shared, negotiated, questioned, and accepted within those systems.
