Does a Tree Make a Sound?
You know the old question "Does a tree that falls in the forest make a sound if there is no one to hear it.?" The point was that communication takes a speaker and a listener. That's cool in marriage and family conversations. It takes sharing the speaking and listening parts so that everyone speaks and listens. They actually teach Active Listening so that couples can learn to actually hear one another. You know 'if I understand what you said it was ...." (smile, please). But I was thinking about sharing my thoughts about this work and some of my experiences. Like today I met a young soldier who had an adverse reaction to an inoculation and has lost use of some of her limbs for the rest of her life. She was doing so well, made me feel somewhat ashamed of my complaints. But does anyone read about it just because I write about it? I may decide to do mass emails instead? What thinkest thou? Dr. D.
