I have a dream
It's not a BIG one
Like "THE DREAM"
We all know so well,
Yet it's a dream
In the Same Spirit
That in every school
In every workplace
And hopefully
In every family
There will be
A Listener
A Giver of Empathy
Someone who's job it is
Just to listen
No more no less
"Listen deeply"
As Tich Nhat Hanh says
How much healing
Relief
Strength to Carry on
There would be as a result...
That's my dream
Welcome To My Blog
The Art of Fine Metalwork and the Art of Empathy and Nonviolent Communication- woven together for you....

Living Nonviolently #2
Here I am again
Waiting for someone to give
Me the recipe for life
Not wanting to do anything
And feeling like I have
To do something, everything.
Frustration, fear-
maybe
Suddenly, I can call it
Growth?
I'm like a seedling
And it's still in it's shell
It's deep in the ground
It's waiting patiently for it's
Moment
Maybe that stress that gets me
Out in the morning is good for me (so used to calling it bad...)
Makes me move?
And is it me? And who is
this ME?
Want to enjoy
want to play
Want to have fun and not be so scared, scared of
Life loving creating -
without those self- judgments---------------------

How to Live Nonviolently - Step one
This is more of a draft than a real post, and yet, so many seasoned bloggers say : don't get hung up on perfection, so here goes.
So, how to live nonviolently? Really...in your moment to moment experience- in your body- not your head
Just notice - what's going on in your own body- is there stress anywhere? Where are you holding on un- necessarily? Notice it and if possible - release whatever. wherever it is located. After 7 or more years learning breathing eating drinking Nonviolent Communictation ( through my intellect) only NOW, I am beginning to realize where war really begins...
More on this soon....
