TODAY'S PHOTO -
sunrise at Delray Beach on July 4th
This is the fisherman whose second net we saw yesterday lying
on the beach. Ordinarily if I'm using sunrise/sunset photos
I'll end the week with a sunset.
In this case let's greet the weekend with a sunrise. Perhaps
some of you who would not usually do so will be inspired, if
the weather forecast is clear,to get up early one of the next
two days and experience your own sunrise.
In the meantime allow yourself to be with this one without any
descriptive thoughts or responses from me.
SELF-REFLECTING QUERIES -
Yesterday, Debra Schanilec wrote to me wondering why the net
in the NATUR-al Collage, as I termed it, was left behind. She
also referred to the fisherman as a litterbug.
I realized immediately that I had not been clear in my communication
and hers was a very logical assumption. I had never mentioned
that the fisherman was in the water with another net or said
anything about him, so I'm giving him to you here today.
This reminded me that I often start conversations from the middle
of my thoughts and people don't always know what I am talking
about. In other words, I might be thinking about something,
including having an internal monologue, and at some point I
open my mouth and start talking. It never even occurs to me
that the person(s) with whom I am speaking did not hear what
came before.
Sometimes this can create confusion and misunderstandings. Can
you relate to this experience? Take some time this weekend to
pay attention to the words that are coming out of your mouth.
Are they clear? Could you answer, if asked, "and the point
is?"
You might have some fun asking people to repeat back what you
said or what they thought you said. Play with it. Enjoy and
have a great weekend.
