Conversations

When obstacles arise, the wise rejoice while the foolish retreat.'

Buddhist famous sentiment

I'm noticing more and more

That we bypass the difficult conversations

We bypass conflict

We bypass wisdom

We simply dive into tittle tattle (boring)

Instead shutting those out/ or saying I can't handle this right now.

And of course there is a place for this, yet how can we come into wisdom if we simply run and therefore hurt others when life gets tough?

In other professions (and I've done some time in education and the arts industry) when something happens,

We have a conversation

A professional conversation about our grievances

However in wellness

We walk away

Why?

When we are here for truth, can we be here for it all?

Your conversations matter.

They provide closure

They support our somatic experiences to move through from embodied wisdom into the wisdom of balanced dual action... we need both.

And yeah it's not easy

And yeah it's uncomfortable

But let us rejoice in this thing called wisdom in the relational field of being

Professionalism matters

Heart also matters

Can they not meet on the ground of difficulty and have a conversation in a balanced way?
