I would daresay that innocence is precluded.

The reality that we share is too corrupt for innocence to survive.

Isn't it nice to have peace after being in the presence of such conflict?

Isn't that ironic? The worst ones about listening are the most boisterous and unruly.

Thanks. I have been observing arguments lately. They accomplish nothing.

I have defenses on top of defenses. I'm learning to let them down, though- one at a time. It's a joy not to always be on guard.

Super post!
As always --
After spending the week with a LOT of me-sayers, I am finding solitude and quiet so peaceful.

I know so many people who have the ' Me Syndrome' and can only talk about themselves and never seem to have the time to listen to others without interrupting and trying to bring the subject back to them.

That is who I was with on the weekend. Two of them. Demanding to be heard but refusing to listen. Great post my friend, but all of yours are

Peace comes when distinguishing between meaningless noise and sounds worth the listening. Good post!

Avant-Garde, your posts require that I reach for the dictionary
instransigence, temerity...entrenched. My defenses are my walls, I am exconced within them, not comfortably, but wedged, precariously. However, the familiar is comfortable, reaching beyond the comfortable requires risk. Listening requires risk, I might learn something or hear something I don't want to know about myself.

Avant, my personal opinion (and experience) is that we (or at last I) wall ourselves off so as to avoid pain. The irony is that the pain is thereby intensified and is insured to constantly throb at the edges. If we allow the walls to drop and move through the pain, there is a freedom, a lightness, a joy, a buoyancy which inevitably appears....and the pain diminishes and disappears. Samhain_Moon
