Communication

It is a luxery to be understood. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson

Communication is my word for the year. Its kinda cool how wehnever somone points out a weakness to you, you suddenly become aware of it. I used to think I was a good communicator. Now I realize I was naive.

Communication is so simple, and yet, at its very root, it is (as Greg Hafer would say) an "ambitious undertaking". I mean really. Its pretty audacious to claim to be able to transfer ideas from our own head and into someone else's. It's not like a computer where u drag and drop. there are varying degrees of understanding, all filtered by each indiviual's unique background and and emotional energy they may attribute to the ideas.

But i'm up for the challenge.
