We will often be busy planning what to say next, instead of really listening. This seems to be what has gone wrong with the national conversation we're supposed to be having. There's a chance here to really 'get' one another...and for each of us to share our feelings of worth, walking forward together.<br /><br />Yes, this being alive is beyond belief...a chance to learn more about each other and love. A chance to respect our individuality and yet come together in a greater union.Lorraine Harthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01116210981761633646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4456617944315372118.post-67415243521929273372009-09-12T20:38:47.801-07:002009-09-12T20:38:47.801-07:00Thanks for the name of the book...

I passed a fascinating evening sharing with a couple last week...<br />instead of quickly settling into the "I get what you are saying," I kept listening (all of this happened by phone) and kept bringing up examples until the person sharing was able to say, "yes, I think you have got it now." I am finding I watching people a little closer and enjoying asking them questions.<br />I also enjoy asking myself questions about my own feelings...<br /><br />Isn't it just beyond belief... this being alive...JosephMcGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13059894814761761857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4456617944315372118.post-80639310637656676962009-09-11T11:55:00.591-07:002009-09-11T11:55:00.591-07:00This is a great conversation to have Joseph. Not ...This is a great conversation to have Joseph. Not only is there the body language...but also energy, to read. I believe this is how we have a lot of missed communication in these times of instant information...with no emotional (read:e-motion...energy motion) reading. The puzzle that is often our discussions need all the tools.<br /><br />I'm reading a fascinating book at the moment..."My Stroke of Insight" by Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor Ph.D. She is a brain scientist who had a stroke...and learned more about the left and right brain connection to, not only bring herself back, but to work more inside her right brain for understanding and self-fulfillment.Lorraine Harthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01116210981761633646noreply@blogger.com
