communication is hard (sometimes)
Sometimes it seems that communication is so tedious. For some couples, when they are different, or easily triggered, it takes effort to find and use words that don’t lead to the conversation going south. I feel for those folks. They want to stay together, and yet it all seems so hard. Add to the mix the challenges people have around letting each other be, and it’s often not possible to say more than one sentence before the conversation ends. All it takes is one person to change the direction. To get a grip and just come from curiosity instead of shut down or kick back. Sometimes it helps to take a breath. Or two. or three.

Like everyone, I have different sides. Counselor, photographer, writer, cooker of food – both spicy and plain, and seeker of truth and happiness. I have always taken an interest in the unassuming things that pass us by – both heard and seen, both ordinary and not so ordinary. They are all sacred and beautiful in some way.
