Every once in awhile, ranting is useful! So ignore what I said, especially as your particular career right now, with counseling, clearly you have to "choose" your words carefully enough, that you practice that avenue of compassionate perspective. “But I reserve the right to rant every now and again, especially here on my blog”

Timing is important too, as we can see with Ken being in the hospital. But I reserve the right to rant every now and again, especially here on my blog, where most of what I do is offered as authentic self-expression. You have an excellent discussion about Integral Communication going on over at I.P. I hope to jump in once I get a little time. For now I'll just say that one of my pet peeves about the integral scene is that people are TOO deliberate about how they communicate, taking the power, energy--the juice--out of their communication. Everyone ends up sounding the same. As long as you stay in dialogue with someone and are willing to reflect upon others' feedback, there's no need, it seems to me, to be so gun-shy, so afraid to say the "wrong" thing. Let 'er rip, I say. Take care eB. --Bob Certainly, when I’m in dialogue with someone, I try my best to be mindful of how I frame my perceptions and offer criticism.

At least, for me, since I can only see what I'm working on (and I'm a busy guy), I always welcome fresh perspectives!)
