communication

Views from around the universe

The art of communication starts with self-exploration, with learning who you are and who you want to be.

The art of communication = The trick and the greatest difficulty is to learn to think before you speak.

The art of communication = It is astonishing how many earthlings can conduct a conversation without once listening, thinking or responding consciously. It seems their heads are so full of the so-called news and feeds and news feeds and texts and posts and tweets and what not, they take it all in and then let it all out again randomly. It works, I guess, because they basically ingest the same tag lines.

The art of communication = On our planet we celebrate communication. When we meet, we begin with a washing ritual, which is followed by a meal ritual where we serve each other. Washed and fed, we move to the comfy zone, a place made of cushions and lit dimly. There we take it in turns to listen to what the other has on their mind. In order not to interrupt the speaker, the listener makes notes. Sometimes the time of communication is so intense and thorough that we fall asleep for a while before we continue.
