[e-nspirations] The conversation you're not having

"The most important conversation is the one you are not having."
-- Susan E. Greene
********************************************************************

I grew up with a notion that being happy meant always being 
emotionally comfortable. Now wiser, I know "always" is impossible, 
yet imagination still lures me back to that notion. When I hold to 
the fantasy that life is easy, I hold to the fantasy relationships 
are easy. Life is messy, relationships are messy and it all ends up 
here: The conversation I know I must have is the same conversation 
I don't yet have the courage to have.
 
Rough spots in past relationships help me acknowledge that intimate 
conversations are not easy, especially when I anticipate a 
conversation might be uncomfortable. It is easier to speak logically 
and antiseptically from my head than to speak painfully and 
haltingly from my heart. Action drives life, just as action drives 
relationships, so I have to take that long walk from my head to my 
heart and sincerely speak my truth.
