The following day the Master said, “It is, alas, easier to travel than to stop.”

The disciples demanded to know why.

“Because as long as travel to a goal you can hold on to a dream. When you stop, you face reality.”

“How shall we ever change if we have no goals or dreams?” asked the mystified disciples.

“Change that is real is change that is not willed. Face reality and unwilled change will happen.”

I believe that if somebody is really awaken, he would not show that he is awaken (that is perfection), therefore, it is highly probable that nobody would believe that he has been indeed awaken.

Somehow it happens that I always find the right books and stories that fit exactly the moment and stage of life I am in - or maybe they find me. Concerning this post about communication problems I immediately had to think about a situation that I experienced about a year ago. At that time my partner and I (he is Mexican and I am German) were often communicating in Spanish, but continuing in English for deeper thoughts or problems. Facing an important time of decisions, some smaller, others bigger, we were talking on how to reach a decision in case we did not agree on a solution. So, talking in English, I proposed to make a compromise - in the GERMAN sense of the word being an agreement where both parties "meet in the middle". The more often I mentioned that word, the more my partner got upset and asked me why I always wanted a compromise of him - which I could not understand, until one day I found out the SPANISH meaning, being an obligation or commitment. So, talking in one language does not necessarily mean people understand each other... taking me back to your quote "love is the key to understand all mysteries" - regardless of any differences of culture. For all people facing this kind of multi-cultural/-national relationships I can only recommend you to have the patience to listen to your beloved one, with all your heart :) Best wishes, Franziska Dear Paulo,

Most is non-verbal, and agree that it is a gift when someone really listens. I wonder if the Brazilian man also walked away that day, having felt better after being in cheery company. This may have meant a lot to him, with perfect timing too. In a way, each receiving something valuable from meeting on that day. Silence communicates and projects messages, so does energy that some are able to read in printed text, see in auras, or just feel. Babies and small children are great communicators also, like the wee boy in story number 2!! I love myself and like myself too : ) (but do get frustrated sometimes over words, thankful for everyone that uses them so succintly) (hmmm, noticing there is no 'reply' box below, and giggling just now) Love, Jane : ) xo About communication…there are so many forms!
