You see, we are attempting to communicate through language, which often leaves many topics misunderstood. Language, in most cases, does not suffice for communication. What one person says can be misinterpreted easily, and in the age of texting, emailing, etc., we’ve seen this challenge grow.
Instead, consider ‘feeling’. Strangely, we seem to think our feelings are internal, but that doesn’t make any sense. I can feel you if you’re angry, and you can feel my love through my words. Feeling is external — not internal — suggesting we have excellent antennas for receiving feelings, and our minds do a great job of explaining them with language. However, we do feel, and we feel each other.
So, next time you want to communicate, consider closing your mouth and feeling. Look at someone, love them, and attempt to feel your love without distraction. Let your feelings do the speaking, and let your words do the thinking.
When’s the last time you felt misunderstood, and can you imagine a scenario where you might have been able to stop speaking — feel compassion or love instead — and resolve the situation with the ‘look’ in your eyes and ‘feelings’ in your heart?
Sent to you with love, compassion, and gratitude,
