Deictic center meets take/bring distinction

Comments

"If we are there where here is where we are, then there at that 'here' we would say bring instead of take."

This sentence threw me off big time. But I think I understand it. I like the way you explained bring as coming toward the hearer or speaker and take as going away from.

What about, "take me to the station." You are having the listener take you somewhere away from "here". Right?
