No wonder we have trouble “communicating”…. look at all the definitions…. hmmmm… are there any here I can use to explain what Philip means when he says how important communication is in every relationship

the imparting or exchanging of information or news…  synonyms:  transmission, conveyance, divulgence, disclosure… a means of connection between people or places

or… how about:  the act or process of using words, sounds, signs, or behaviors to express or exchange information or to express your ideas, thoughts, feelings, etc., to someone else. : a message that is given to someone : a letter, telephone call, etc.

There are lots more up there on google… but this gives you an idea.  Confused? I sure was when I read thru this stuff.    I am talking about two people sitting down together… speaking and listening to each other… out of our hearts… saying what is really going on in those hearts, in our minds, what we are thinking about, experiencing, feeling … everything and anything… 

Sitting down with my spouse, my kids, my friends, my Lord, sitting down with people…. and… talking…. back and forth… both ways… give and take… share our lives with each other…. letting them know they are important, what they think and believe are important to me… learning to love in a whole new dimension… and to listen… listen… listen.

I write this… hoping to stimulate that kind of communication happening with others… perhaps even getting a dialogue going with you…
