Listening ~


"I know
you
believe

 

you understand
what
you think I said

but
I'm not sure
you
realize
that
what you heard


is
not
what I meant"

 

am
I
alone
in this?

Incredible! Thank you for sharing your gift. Long day, but I just had to check your blog to see what delight might await me. You didn't disappoint me. Awesome!

Great shots - beautiful cute little deer!!

No, you are not alone. I am constantly trying to learn how to communicate better, so people (especially my husband) really understand what I'm saying.

Pugelicious said...

Love this post - I have had one of those weeks with communication challenges - hope you have a great weekend.

Tracy said...

Oh, that is sweet... even in the wild there's mix ups! haha... But what a magic encounter with these deer. :o) Happy Weekend ahead, Susan ((HUGS))

Kass said...

Maybe if we spoke the language of the deer, we would understand each other better.

Reminds me of women are from Venus, men are from Mars (although some might say a place a little closer to the sun or center of the earth or something like that). Incredible pictures. You are brilliant...truly!

I just love how you've expressed this with these images of deer. SO very perfect. And well done!

I think that's one of the hardest things in relationship (with humans), to feel that the words you speak to convey what you see, so dear, so close, so raw, are misunderstood or dismissed...

caryjo said...

Wish you could hear me chuckling.
