Bullying takes many forms but usually comes down to power or size … or a perceived power or status. The boss and the employee, superior and inferior … big and small.
Ever find yourself in a situation where you know something needs to be said or done about a situation, but you’re not quite sure how to talk about it or engage others in helping to make some improvements? You might want them to understand your concerns and you’re wondering how to arrange your thoughts so that your listeners will get your message quickly and want to be part of working out a solution.
Write just one word. Then another. Write another. Draw that line. Mark that page. Make a dot, a squiggle, an imperfect circle. So what if it’s wonky? So what if it looks more like a weird elephant’s ear? Play that chord. Sing that note. Sing another. Sing three in a row. Start something. Do it. In the words of avant-garde composer John Cage: ‘Begin anywhere.’
How are you with time?
Different people perceive time differently. To some of us time is a finite, measurable,
tangible commodity. Like a loaf of sliced bread, it can be shared around very simply and
specifically. To others of us time is a much less tangible item. In fact, it is more like a large
bowl of soup, difficult to divide according to any set of rules and difficult to distribute evenly.
