“We handled this almost like a shock,” Kornfield explained. “It really shook our word, but the ramifications were also very clear. I don’t think I ever stopped processing it emotionally. Until now, I don’t know I had it. Because it was just ‘OK, we have to move.'”

He continued, “The fact that it was a publicly enacted encroachment added a level of complexity to this, as we knew there was a stick of dynamite with an uncertain fuse. We knew that at any moment this could happen and it would show.”

It would mean to all the people in our office who know what they know, that we weren’t honest with everything we were saying and our values. Quite simply, it could have been removed. It wasn’t a public spectacle.” …maybe we would have tried to avoid it for the sake of the other people involved.”
