An intelligent fourteen-year-old girl leaves home to stay with an older, married girl friend - not because she’s irresponsible or doesn’t love her parents, but because “no one in my family ever tries to understand me. They never quit criticizing long enough to allow me to explain my problems.” A middle-aged couple decide to separate after thirty years of marriage because, as the wife puts it, “we have become as remote as two complete strangers.” Every day we hear unhappy stories like these involving sad and confused people who have ceased to communicate effectively with one another, people who have lost their sense of belonging, who feel neglected and misunderstood because no one takes the time to listen to them. “But I’m no good at conversation, so it’s no use my trying,” explained an acquaintance recently when we were discussing the problems of communicating. But no one has to rely on the power of words to communicate with others” for the art of being a good conversationalist is, first and foremost, being a good, receptive listener. Unfortunately, most of us are inclined to overlook the true value of receptive listening. In our hectic demanding lives we’ve forgotten how to invite participation and involvement SHOP NY LOCAL by Eileen Cade-Edwards, London From Daytripping July-August 2004 simply by listening. We really don’t know just how our loved ones, our friends and neighbours feel, what their personal dreams and frustrations are. A typical example is the case of Old Larry, as we affectionately called the elderly gentleman who lived alone in a small house on the outskirts of our town. When Old Larry died a few years ago, his only daughter- who had not seen or communicated with her father for several years decided to auction the contents of the old house. On going through the rooms she found to her amazement, not the odds and ends of familiar things remembered from her girlhood days, but a large collection of beautifully carved wild animals and birds, all lovingly made and expertly finished by her father. “He must have nursed this dream for his retirement,” his daughter said later, shaking her head sadly. “And to think, in all these years, I never knew he had this talent. It never occurred to me that he was interested in anything but his farm. I guess I didn’t really know him at all!” How many people do any of us really know? And how many people really know us? The answer must surely lie in the fact that we’ve forgotten how to communicate. If we want to change this situation we should begin now to train ourselves in the art of listening, really listening. We must reach out to others, be receptive to their needs and problems and try to encourage them to reach out to us in return. Only in this way will we be able to communicate fully one with another and open the floodgates of understanding. MI ONTARIO Page 22 Phobias… The fear of dreams is called oneirophobia Sept-Oct 2021

No good deed goes unpunished. Leakproof seals - will. Self starters - will not. Interchangeable parts - won't. 90% of everything is crud. Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong. If you're feeling good, don't worry, you'll get over it. You will always find something in the last place you look. The chance of of bread falling with the buttered side down is directly proportional to the cost of the carpet. No matter how long or hard you shop for an item, after you've bought it, it will be on sale somewhere cheaper. No one's life, liberty, or property are safe while the legislature is in session. The other line always moves faster. In order to get a loan, you must prove first that you don't need it. Anything you try to fix will take longer and cost more than you thought. If you fool around with a thing for very long you will screw it up. A $300.00 picture tube will protect a 10¢ fuse by blowing first. If it jams - force it. If it breaks, it needed replacing anyway. A tool dropped while repairing a car will roll underneath to the exact center. The repairman will never have seen a model quite like yours before. When a broken appliance is turned on for the repairman, it’ll work perfectly. Build a system that even a fool can use, and only a fool will use it. Everyone has a scheme for getting rich that will not work. There's never time to do it right, but there's always time to do it over. Golden Rule: Whoever has the gold makes the rules.
