Thoughts for Feb 2009 PDF Print E-mail
Thursday, 05 February 2009
It has been quite a while since I added something to this blog.  Recently we started a pracitice group in NVC (Nonviolent Communication) in Decatur at my office.  This is a way to make the practice of NVC REAL.  We have the opportunity to practice difficult conversations, either before or after they take place and have the support of other wonderfully loving people.  The support and insight of this group of people is an amazing thing to behold.  I long for a time when the majority of our interactions with people will be so loving and so supportive.  We are moving to a place where we can acknowledge everyone's needs.... not necessarily meet them all, but acknowledge them and give them consideration.  At the same time, being aware of the judgments that we have in the process and working to separate them out from our observations of what is happening.  That is an unusual thing in our culture.  My heart feels full when I think of this group.  Thanks to everyone involved.

We're currently reading the book "Don't Be Nice, BE REAL:  A Handbook for Nonviolent Communication"  by Kelly Bryson.
