*Authors writing notes:
I searched for a real book and an important issue of mine is today’s conflicts! Most of our conflicts could be solvable if we practiced clearly expressing what we really need from others! With this in mind I sought out to add autumn leaves as an overlay! Using mixed media ~ natural element lots , organics, watercolors, charcoal & then light painting.
This following poem emerged within this text from page 45!
Real Book Source: Nonviolent Communication, A Language of Compassion by
Marshall B. Rosenberg, March 1999

I love the way you express feelings & how much conflict in the world today.I just went out to mail some cards & people were almost running with their cars to get ahead of those walking into the PO then they go in & wait in line quietly hiding their true inner rush….love your type writer.I had one from years ago…I think it got tossed when I moved,not by me.

Communication including the part behind listening…we talk, we talk, we fight, we rage…how often do we really listen. Love your response, your choice, and the journal is fantastic!

Interesting exploration – in such a multimedia way. The message seemed more of a question than an answer, a challenge as poem. Quite substantial in content and merit.

Love how you put this together….such a great presentation. We plug our ears with our own voices when silence would let us listen.

I love the way this ends: “What do you find disturbing? talking” almost needs a question mark at the end. Really captures your intent, thoughts and feelings about current conflicts.

Fun to see your journal pages. Peaking in on another's process is always a treat. The last two lines nearly tell the whole tale!
