September memory

I can feel the warmth of the sun from that late September day. A weekend workshop on non violent communication. After lunch, I walked around the gardens taking in the wonderful weather and the morning's learning. It was an awakening experience. A difficult process that calls for constant self consciousness and active listening. Some days I succeed - but only momentarily. Other days (most), I'm as blind as I was before. This photo brings me back to that weekend when I realized that I already instinctively knew this stuff but didn't know how to use it. Since then, I have also understood, as all that embark in non violent communication, that constant, daily and voluntary efforts are needed to live in peace with oneself and one another. But when you do, the love within feels like that warm late September sun....
