I prefer to say conversations.
If we can set ourselves aside a bit more they would be conversations.
Thing is... when conflict enters the equation people's old wounds can be touched and then things become complicated.
Denial. Projection. Very difficult to navigate.
Or detachment. Aversion. Craving. We practice not getting stuck into these and it's far simpler to negotiate, understand each other and compromise.
It's quite amazing how often we have the same goals anyway. Just different approaches to achieving them!
I'm busy making some joy. I hope.
