POST 238 (DAY 248, Wednesday, 2021.4.14)
[Morning Entry]
...A LETTER TO A DEAR OLD FRIEND.. the awakening moment was when I had realized that I was simply asking too much.. a defensive stance took the place of their usually casual demeanor.. hostile attack, as if in retaliation, when seeking civil conversation.. am I at war with a historically good relation because of a simple inquiry of a missed mark?.. maybe I
should start with a comment on my own missed mark (a sin I’ve committed), to soften the blow that question which may be seen as judgement, to the inquiree.. we may have had the rapport of whimsical parroting, but not yet the permission to dig deeper to the core.. for at the core, we need safety and acknowledgment and understanding.. and acceptance.. perhaps then their guard winds down just
enough to converse objectively, strategically, boldly, progressively, and honoring respective inadequacies.. “it’s never too late to say ‘I’m sorry’, ‘thank you,’ and ‘I love you.”... I’m sorry.. thank you.. I love you.. I accept you..
... enjoy the pics~!!!
