Wouldn't it be great if we could just turn our selves off occasionally? By 'selves' in that question I mean all the stuff, all the agendas, all the emotions, all the stuff generally that makes up today's "I", and tomorrow's, and yesterday's. Turn it all off, step outside all this, that and the rest of it, and truly communicate. Maybe talk through how it's going, re-commit to the sharing, and maybe even plant some hint of an understanding to take back into the "I".
But then, maybe we do, sometimes. Maybe we do more often than we realise - only, we don't do it in big, solid, conscious, deliberate words.
Today's addition is a piece of writing for the Thursday Group. Not sure what I think of it, but hey - it takes us back to the original purpose of this site (see 'Visitors', right), which is to write. The Thursday Group meets every other Thursday (last week, next week), and the commitment is to bring along 2,000 or so words. If you're interested, I've written - I'll give you the link in a moment - what looks like an opener. It started from the word Thursday, became the title Thursday's Child, and then spun out from the opening sentence.
Kind of darker than I intended, but if it's a beginning, and if it needs to end within the life cycle of the Thursday Group (six sessions altogether, I think), there'll be a happy ending before too long.
The link? Oh yes - sorry. Almost forgot. Scroll down this page until you come to a box entitled 'Homework'. It's in there. Not exactly hidden. But.
