You Can't Hide Behind Words

We’re all trying to be kinder in our communications. We’re all learning how to listen and ask questions without being confrontational. To me, this is one of the most difficult lessons coming through this time in our lives. Listening without reaction, questioning without self-righteousness, learning from everyone, even those with whom I don’t believe — maybe especially from them! One thing I’ve discovered is that it doesn’t matter what I say out loud if my thoughts are confrontational. We can’t hide our true feelings behind the facade of kind words: we must be kind. Those of you who have pets know how true this is. You can’t hide your true feelings from an animal — or an aware human. Go forth with joy, because it shines through in your actions!
