An Incredible Lightness
First grade was really FUN!!!
Major tired tonight.
I did most of the 2+ days of the NonViolent Communication workshop with a killer headache. Couldn't sleep last night because of it. Funny thing... when we did an exercise where we were to practice empathic listening, and I got to express my fear, confusion, and sadness about my friend with pancreatic cancer, somehow my headache decreased to such a degree that I could start to remember what *good* feels like again.
Marshall Rosenberg is a master. He is not just teaching theory. NVC is in his cells... and he's funny, too!
I hope to be sharing some of what I (re)-learned over the next few days. I am certain that if we don't acquire new ways to communicate, and if we don't start teaching our children different skills than the ones that we have been using (you know, the ones that haven't worked to create peace yet), we will continue to experience violence in our world.
