Resolution

Old 'tin mine' stone structure on coast near St. Agnes, in Cornwall area, England.

Resolution

7/11/11

To be upfront about dissonance

appearing in body as tension

that disrupts otherwise delightful equanimity

with another during a conversation

is risk which insures intimacy,

a canary in coal mine

needing attention paid to it,

quicker the better the adjustment

when clearing air, discussing differences

as specifically honest as possible,

chips fall where they may

paving way toward new understanding

especially if reinforced by acceptance

on both sides, trusting perfection

of 'truth' as clarifying agent

which when validated in moment

becomes springboard for deeper connection,

not made wrong or attacked

even when comments are unfavorable,

unflattering, depicting any illusory concerns

born from prior hurtful experiences,

it takes trust, knowing oneself,

valuing vitality to not compromise

integrity through inauthentic 'pleasing' exchange,

denials, to 'make it' work,

create problems needing later resolution.
