A L O H A !
Always
I wanted to help
by talking,
telling,
sharing.
Ti Plants
If my show
was good enough:
EUREKA!
Lesson learned,
problem solved.
But I learned,
people only hear
what THEY
are READY
to hear.
And you can only
know
when they are
ready
by listening
to THEM.
more is accomplished
by "being there"
by listening.
When I see a person
striding across a stage
to teach or tell,
like @ You Tube
or a conference,
Something inside me
is disgusted.
"Enough experts!
Enough Breakthroughs!
Enough SALES
technique!"
Experts stand revealed
today
as deeply flawed
self-promoters.
When enough of us feel
that disgust;
When we start
listening to
all stake-holders
instead of
mere contesting,
Then the SALES
can end.
Actual solutions
can emerge.
Someday.

to redeem
the work of fools. "

Very good post Cloudia,
lovely pictures.
Greetings, Joop
People don't listen until they are ready...and listening to them is a gift.
got to.. got.. to... got to love Patti...wise words and wonderful pictures...I thank you..happy easter!!
Wow Cloudia...
That's sort of a Mini Rant eh?
Loved it!!!
Hucksters beware!
Wise words especially in my situation. I'd love for someone to call and say, "God brought you to mind; let's go to lunch". Doesn't happen though and the last time I invited someone to lunch, haven't heard from 'em since.
Grief might as well be a leper.
Wise words, Cloudia! I enjoy catching the random person by accident, and sharing a bit of our time together. Smiling, Karen
Being there and listening !
so true on being willing and able to listen...that def opens the door to conversation....
aloha from va....

That's a really big job.
Well said my friend!
I like your quotes and the first shot above all.
Ciao from Italy, cara Claudia.
I so hope Patti Smith is right. Lovely post Cloudia and beautiful photos.
wow !
Lovely as always.
rant or rave, as we have a tendancy to do on our blogs, readers won't remember an aota of the manifesto 5 minutes later. Perhaps, that's a guud thing.
I love those little heart-shaped leaves.
mini-rant yeah! LOL
Thanks everyone for being here
