Ina here:

What language:  Confusion
To whom:  Playmates
For what:  Clarity, community, relatedness

I'm sitting here way overdue for bed and dropped online to pick up a personal
note - then got sucked  into the partnership conversation (very seductive).

 A few quick thoughts.

-VIP, as a leader (anywhere), if you've offended anyone, you might consider
apologizing.  I am, as you are, aware that there's occuring in both speaker
and listener, however, by not apologizing for offending you are demonstrating
that one does not need to be responsbile for listening to the listening.  So,
whether there was intention to hurt, harm or not, I request you be responsible
for the impact of your message.

-I see play going on here, but I'm not sure this is the arena for the kind of
playing going on here.  We have a vast array of listenings in this group,
which is part of what makes it special.  Let's ALL be more appropriate for the
listening.

-There is begining to be some fabulous self-expression in this group.  As a
cohesion.  As community.  And as in community, the different facets of the
personalities (not unlike diamonds) are shining through.  Personally, though
each particular note may not excite or stimulate or impact me greatly,  I very
much appreciate the self-expression and playing out going on here.  We just
need to give each other a little more space - and perhaps a little more honor.

-I am begining the next round of Partnership this Saturday.  It feels slightly
schizi to be starting this before finishing ours.  Or cyclical.  I am looking
at the CIF Kitty sent me, and can't honestly respond.  Have I stopped wishing?
Dreaming?  Creating possibility?  Is it possible my life is so full that
there's nothing I want (NAH)?  Or am so resigned I refuse to shoot for the
stars? 

I am sitting here wondering.  And maybe a little wonder ain't so bad.

love,
i
