Topic:   “Listening to the Edges of Each Other”

We bring a whole range of persons to our interactions with each other; we could be joyful or sad, interested or bored, peaceful or violent and so on.
“To not cultivate the feel of another is a kind of soul-murder.  The evolution of the human race depends on not aborting the feeling of another. We are in and part of an emotional storm. It is us and we are it – partly.  It is enough to begin with a sense that an emotional storm is happening.  The simple fact: Impact is happening”,
and we need to be in a space where we can deal with it.
