It is seldom we have visitors staying overnight in our cottage! When that happens, there is a new experience of conversation at the heart level! I am normally ready to sleep by 10 pm. But the other day when these friends were with us, none of us thought of bed time!
I reflected over our conversation why it was refreshing and energy giving! It was because we talked about our personal lives and experiences. Others or events in our institutions did not appear in our conversation!
Debriefing has a restorative and renewing impact when we recall personal events or learning journey with friends, who resonate with us!
In a world of social media, where there is a pressure to be social and be in touch, there can be a private dimension beyond social communication, which longs for our attention! It is only in the context of trustful relationship one can be personal with others!
It is good to check if we are used to cultivating friendships where we can be at home and be open!
