The Importance of Clear Communication

mlerulesI prefer being stirred to being shaken. Can communication be clear? Can I really articulate what I'm thinking and feeling in such a manner that you can understand it? Well, yeah, of course. Then why have so many plays been written, tragedies cast and played, dramas reenacted as a result of innocent misunderstandings?
Tangled webs of deceit don't count - they're not innocent.
Down the rabbit hole we go...
NOTICE: Nothing here's being triggered by anything specific. The same home rules apply in MLE's LJ-land as when playing Fluxx: (1) Take nothing personally and (2) Don't get too attached to anything. [Feel free to ask any questions desired.]
Image Bubble: (non-obscene, thank for playing) Deep But Not Wide. Thin thread stretching far. Tenuous? No. Time is the only true test of love and/or a r-ship.
What lessons have I learned? What mistakes will I avoid? What heights will I scale? From how far will I fall...no, I won't have it. Scaffolded learning's required here. I shall not fall, because I'm constructing a solid edifice (myself), well-grounded in Truth and belief. But what of f/Faith?
What is my f/Faith? Do I have one? Do I have any? What are my convictions? What do I hold true? What do I hold dear? What has remained unshaken? What has remained unstirred? Again: I prefer stirred to shaken. Not sure whether the nothing unshaken/unstirred really matters. Blending essences...coalescing wholes. Personal chemistries. (Physics figures into matters as well.) Social dynamics. Fascinating ,at times frighteningly so.
I do like being transported. Movement. Activity. Silence. Wind blowing, howling even, clouds blowing by, birdies chirping, waves crashing (metaphorically and actually), fireworks, sparkly shiny things, soft gentle delicate touches, hard bruising biting grappling, tender mercies, intimacies abounding, vicarious cloud dancing, intertwining, dancing, grinding. Did I mention going Grinding o'morrow night?
*****
Is this that seasonal thing or what? If'n I hadn't heard so much about it (SAD), would I still interpret my current on-again-off-again feeling of malaise as the doldrums? Hmm. Mini-epiphany: I don't hibernate well. Perhaps this is after a near-lifetime of no seasons. For the umpteenth time I remind myself - while patting myself on the back for skipping a mess of steps and wasting relatively little time getting here (and now waxing on 'bout it) - feeling like this (neutral, mellow, non-manic, not delirious) is not negative. Yes: Just Say No To Negativity! Ah, hell. This has become one of my Life Rules. *snap* How delightful it is that it doesn't last very long. IT = doldrums
******
Off to cross another few off today's To Do list before I leave town again to PLAY/LIVE o'morrow!
EDIT: What sparked this tidbit was reading the small print on a legal document and being pleased that I know what it means and how to deal with it. I hadn't realized how it worked, but now I know.
