Stream thinking. I practice it every day. Once a week though I set it free so that we can learn how to trust in its presence. Ten minutes. Write whatever you feel. No editing. No judgement. Put it out there! All that’s in your head. The power of stream thinking. Living in the presence of Now. The subject this week is communicating. Ha! Oh my God who does that? Ha! Communicating by way of connecting doesn’t require emails that resemble books. You know. Those long collection of words and thoughts that people send thinking you’re going to read it to the end. Not me! I check out after a sentence or two. They complain that I didn’t respond. Yep. If you can’t say it in 15 words. Not gonna pay attention. Communicating! So many sentences are sent that bare the image of the writer “It’s all about me! I’m better than!” Goodness. I’m checking out then. I’ve never understood why people ask me questions when the next email is going to be their response on how they can do better. Oh! Communicating! Not in dictator style but rather one on one. Like we’re together in conversation. We need to heal our communication skills. The last four years have been brutal. We were given permission to say whatever we want like it or not. OK. Not! Conversation is designed to go a long way. What you say today has the empowerment to last the next seven generations. So stop your accusations. Limit your energy and become part of the environment of Now. The purpose behind unity. That’s a big thought. There can never be a strong community if the indifferences resemble shards of glass. Communicating is an act of distance. The impact reaches beyond your moment of release. Willie Nelson says it best “I can’t go back and change anything because it will effect where I presently stand. I like where I am today.” Moving forward with conversation during a pandemic where most of us have no clue what office living is about. Zoom meetings are a total distraction. Phone conversations no different. There’s no better feeling then standing with someone eye to eye and what you’re communicating is experienced. Please don’t send an email or text. That’s modern day laziness.
