"I think writers, by nature, are more observers
instead of participators."
Ian Hunter
'Tis the season for parties whether highly jeweled or casually dressed. There is great joy when we indulge in holiday delicacies while sitting at a beautifully arranged table or roasting marshmallows around the open fire. Whether entertained by work, family, or friends, we may feel ourselves turning inward.
We need people in our lives whether kindred spirits or diverse souls. They help us discover our sensitivities and challenge our perceptions. If we choose to actively listen without judgment, we hold space for others to grow as well. Truly, it is not about being right or wrong, but the gift of transitioning thoughts.
Participating in silence, additional information is often shared, altering our viewpoints with deeper compassion. It is not about being right or wrong, but awakening to insights regarding the challenges of all earth travelers. The importance is not necessarily the obstacle itself, but learning diverse ways as to how others negotiate.
