This past week's word of the week was Commune.
Of course my emphasis on the word was the verb form. Usually I chose a verb to focus on because nothing changes your life like taking proper action. And I want to make a difference in my life AND the world.
commune 2 |kəˈmyo͞on|verb [ no obj. ]1 (commune with) share one's intimate thoughts or feelings with (someone or something), esp. when the exchange is on a spiritual level:the purpose of praying is to commune with God.• feel in close spiritual contact with: he spent an hour communing with nature on the bank of a stream.
verb1 a desire to commune with family and friends: communicate, speak, talk,converse, interface.2 she likes to commune with nature: empathize with, identify with, have a rapport with, feel at one with; relate to, feel close to.
Its interesting how after I chose this word, it revealed its importance in my life even moreso than any other word I've used in the Word of Week this year. If you don't know, I do a Word of the Week every Monday. I just post the word hoping that people will find some value or meaning in the word and even moreso wishing to inspire those who may not be familiar with a particular word to grab a dictionary of some sort and enlighten themselves.
Anyway, the point I'm getting at is that throughout my week I experienced some very meaningful communing experiences, not only with people in my circle, and new acquaintances, but also with nature. They were life changing experiences. Life changing conversations in which I built rapport and relationship, I was inspired and inspired someone else, and/or I grew closer in relation to something/someone who enhanced my life.
I realized that greatest way to build relationship and convey to someone how important they are to your life is simply to commune with them. I think that we, especially here in America, often take our most important relationships and life giving forces in our lives for granted, when all of life around us could be enhanced if we would just decide to commune with it.
I have read allot of what you are talking about and some is good and on key and the other is just talk,ie no one heal another this must come from within one self,next is the world is like it is cause people are so far from nature and are almost to far gone being a robot being told what to see,do,eat,think,and all around whitewash of the mind,and throwing the brain in the trash can,there is a huge different in a mind and a brain,I see were you say something about a gift for mother day there goes the mind dealing with man made days for no more then a sell,see even animals have a mind for the simply reason they can be taught to do different task under a work of habit and put to pain and then giving treats and has a whole of most people there is not much different,a little of my self I live only in harmony with nature in eating,thinking,listening,seeing and watching wild life every day on my 100 acre. With all that I said are written you are still one of my favor reading,the name is Andrew
