Gliding Over the Surface

"Distraction leaches the authenticity out of our communications.  When we

are not emotionally present, we are gliding over the surface of our interactions and 

we never tangle in the depths where the nuances of our skills are tested and refined."

Marian Deegan

RELEVANCE: MATTER MORE

If a conversation is dry or uninteresting, we may need to examine our own agenda.  Are we being open to new information to learn  or are we distracted by personal thoughts and narrow thinking?  A conversation that is trivial or not to our liking, why are we having it anyway?  Utilize polite skills of excusing our lovely self and move on.

Caution is necessary, however, as it is often during a random conversation we receive tiny nuggets of information leading to more in depth resourcing.  If we prematurely classify a person as boring and therefore exclude them, we may be missing vital information.  Divine uses the most unlikely people to deliver specific prompts, nudges or messages.

If we interact with others superficially, we may become the boring ones.  If we are not investing authentic presence, we glide along the surface.  When we remain open or present in all situations, we are able to discern nuances that will test and refine our skills.
