If this particular path had not shown up, I don't know what would have. I am only saying that something does. That something can be shared mourning that we can't find a solution that Miki Kashtanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00907977416574801559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5754739242520868315.post-694725056322993342014-02-10T02:59:50.915-08:002014-02-10T02:59:50.915-08:00My thoughts exactly, Adrienne.

Seems like an easy solution to find, if you know you will have a corresponding income at some future date and Emma is willing and able to survive without pay for now. I also wonder Miki where the dialogue would have got you without these special conditions - do you agree with Adrienne's suggestion?Graham Timminshttp://www.therightword.infonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5754739242520868315.post-88756033449858673082014-02-08T11:03:41.030-08:002014-02-08T11:03:41.030-08:00I love the heart felt exchange you had with Emma, ...I love the heart felt exchange you had with Emma, and she with you. The solution seems to depend on the fact that there would be enough money to pay her in the future. This is great for the two of you, but it leads to more questions. The point of the story is that the connection, "the magic" allowed you to see the solution that you hadn't noticed or validated before.

I find this particular version of a classic story to be an excellent depiction of humanity's unwillingness to face and embrace it's own ignorance, choosing instead to cover it over with what is referred to as "conventional wisdom" or "common sense." http://Ron Greensteinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5754739242520868315.post-19760734056878380322014-01-31T11:12:49.393-08:002014-01-31T11:12:49.393-08:00I'm particularly struck by the shift from '...I'm particularly struck by the shift from ''announcement'' to ''dialogue''. miriumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00182655448563696498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5754739242520868315.post-21090649610764758632014-01-31T07:13:49.544-08:002014-01-31T07:13:49.544-08:00Dear John,

Until this exchange with Sarah and you, the only thing I was aware of as obstacle in this sense was attachment to a particular outcome. Now I see that even when open to having a different outcome, I can be, and I suspect others are, too, in "announcement" mode when we don't see any possibilities. There is a higher field of humility even than Miki Kashtanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00907977416574801559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5754739242520868315.post-88544711053176797832014-01-31T07:08:34.825-08:002014-01-31T07:08:34.825-08:00Miki, this conversation crackles with the sense of...Miki, this conversation crackles with the sense of "magic" that I've felt in the midst of a profound dialogue that connects its participants. Wonderful. And it opens me to something that has been floating around in my head but which I couldn't put into words: that one obstacle to dialogue is the assumption that we can foresee all possible outcomes--and, often, say no to the John Backmanhttp://www.dialogueventure.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5754739242520868315.post-6528744325450895302014-01-30T20:50:44.097-08:002014-01-30T20:50:44.097-08:00Dear Sarah,

It was through the dialogue that this frame returned, the one I always advocate and try to live. Thank you for pointing it out so sharply.<br /><br />And thank you for the point about me getting support. Bit by bit, there is more.
