That's my version. (and I'm sticking to it.[grin]) What a fabulous story! If we would only quit trying to be quite so clever and start trying to pay attention, we'd get so much further in meeting where our minds can actually communicate, don't you think? Hi Martin,
Touch it once and touch it with your authentic being.

What a fabulous story! If we would only quit trying to be quite so clever and start trying to pay attention, we’d get so much further in meeting where our minds can actually communicate, don’t you think?

If I do it in a way that means do it right the first time, I never have to go back and do it again. I remember one of the oddest things that ever happened to me in my days at Leo Burnett. The agency hired President Nixon's Press Secretary to come in and teach us all how to address client's negative questions, and how to answer a question with a question. My take-away was that if we were doing everything right, and actually listening to what our clients were saying, we wouldn't have needed any of this. I believe that the ability to listen though comes with experience. You can't really listen until you have context. If you'd said, "hit the nail on the head" to me as a child, I would have thought about hammering literally. Only later do you see its metaphoric use. But anyway, that's my 2 cents provokes by your thoughts Liz. Thanks for keeping my mind stirred up. Prevents olds-heimer's disease. Like you new look too!
