               <description> <![CDATA[ Carolina Wren (photo by William Majaros) One of the greatest needs I hear repeated during workshops is &quot;contribution&quot; and &quot;to matter.&quot;  I resonate with both of these. Do you? For myself there are other needs lurking behind these, very important needs to recognize and address.  I might characterize these as &quot;belonging&quot; and &quot;interconnection.&quot;  No  matter what I do I belong and am interconnected with the interdependent whole.  It is only my state of mind that sees it otherwise, alas all too often! So I have taken up the motto, &quot;Beautiful Useless,&quot; so that I might remember how I can experience connection to all life no matter external characteristics, or even internal states of mind. To help me remember this motto, I read Mary Oliver wh... ]]> </description>

               <description> <![CDATA[ In yesterday&#039;s &quot;Dear Abby&quot; column there was woman who described herself as retired and in search of herself. She didn&#039;t know whether to take a part time job, go to school, or volunteer. She was experiencing guilt and a sense of unworthiness because she was &quot;unproductive.&quot; Here is how I would have replied to her letter using NVC consciousness.  What might you have said? No one is “unproductive.” We each just choose different strategies to meet our needs for ease, rest, fun, security, and protection (and many other needs).  No one is old. No one is retired. These labels tend to go with expectations of how we should act.  So I’m going to ask you to think of what needs are alive in you now. Let me help get you started.  From what y... ]]> </description>

               <description> <![CDATA[ The news is all abuzz with the sit in protests that started a month ago in New York City known as &quot;Occupy Wall Street.&quot;   They sparked movements all over the world, and they have even come to our small town for the past 10 days.   The occupiers   speak of being part of the 99% whose lives are being negatively impacted by 1% of the population who control resources.   Some of the complaints I have heard about this movement is that they are not clear in what they want, or how to get there.   In Nonviolent Communication speak, they have not made clear and doable requests, or at least that the media has reported.   Requests though are only one component of nonviolent communication.   Other components are observations, feelings, and nee... ]]> </description>

               <description> <![CDATA[ Percy Wakes Me Mary Oliver Percy wakes me and I am not ready... Now he&#039;s eager for action:  a walk, then breakfast.... He is sitting on the kitchen counter where he is not supposed to be. How wonderful you are, I say. How clever, if you needed me, to wake me. He thought he would hear a lecture and deeply  his eyes begin to shine. He tumbles onto the couch for more compliments. He squirms and squeals; he has done something that he needed and now he hears that it&#039;s okay. I scratch his ears, I turn him over and touch him everywhere.  He is wild with the okayness of it.  Then we walk, then he gas has breakfast, and he is happy. This is a poem about Percy. This is a poem about more than Percy. Think about it. In my spiritual practice of n... ]]> </description>

               <description> <![CDATA[ Dr. Ursula Aragunde Kohl, me and participants at the CC Workshop in Puerto Rico Last weekend I was in Puerto Rico offering two separate workshops on Compassionate Communication. One was to the Puerto Rican Parrot Recovery Project and the other to a conglomeration of animal welfare, social services, and faith organizations in San Juan.   This was the first time I had chosen to concentrate on organizations that deal with nonhuman animals.   My goal in so doing was to support and nourish the humans so that they in turn could help all beings flourish. In my home faith tradition, Unitarian Universalism I am also gearing up to offer workshops in Compassionate Communication to those interested in the interweaving justice issues that include n... ]]> </description>
