It began like this…….
It began like this:
I had left home for a congress, for four days. My wife, my daughter and my son had said goodbye. We all were a little sad because of some troubles at home. After I had arrived at the place where the congress took place, I phoned my family. My two children hadn´t yet realized well enough that I would be away for four days. So my daughter asked me: how do you feel, Dad. Whereas my son asked me: where are you, Dad.
Both had asked for the same.
Both wanted to know how I felt.
But both did it in a different, and very personal way.
And it was good so.
My lesson learnt in those days was the following: we are very different in words, in bodily expression and in culture. But we are related to each other in a very personal way.
So how to meet each other then? To meet each other: curiously like children do? passionately like explorer do? professionally like respectful people do? sensibly like loving people do and respectfully like friends do?
Getting familiar with this confidence I learnt to understand the deep richness of non-verbal expression and communication. As well as the necessity to address people from other cultures especially on this level:
- In their everyday life,
- On the relationship level,
- In case there is support needed in whatever way,
- In psychology and psychotherapy,
- In the field of dance, theatre, music, art,
- Being abroad somewhere in a foreign country and culture,
- In business.
Now I start this blog, as a collective blog. I hope that you also are interested in this life issue and that this blog will catch your interest.
So please join if you like with a comment or a question or a special link or photo. And tell your friends or colleges if you feel so.
