Communication...(4/25/2006)
Recently a friend of mine posted a "tidbit" about communication and how it effects our relationships. I thought about it and was pleased to realize that I had a pretty strong opinion on the subject. (Go figure! hehehe!) Here are my thoughts:
We are creatures of communication, words and reason. This is what sets us apart from other species. Conscious communication is a valuable and required tool in nurturing the relationships in our lives.
In addition to the words that we choose when we communicate, our tone, gestures and expressions that accompany each phrase and each word make the difference between understanding and miscommunication. Poor communications skills can be the difference between flow and stagnation.
Communication is an art form. It must come from the beauty within. It can be cultivated in each of us. The way we communicate is an individual as our fingerprints. To know someone and to communicate with them takes effort and respect by both parties.
Communication can be the salve that heals or the lack there-of can be the sting that starts a conflict. Communicate from the heart and with earnest and all will not be lost. In order to communicate openly and in "good form" with others, we must first be honest and open with ourselves. Find truth in your words and your expressions, and you will have peace and joy.
Wishing you all peace and joy.
