  Different Perspectives The Conversation Elements From The Conversation Music This well-known song by ABBA is about a relationship coming to an end with the associated emotions, especially when there are different expectations. What stands out, especially in cases where you want to leave room for different perspectives, are the phrases: "I don't want to talk" and "The winner takes it all." Big challenges in any situation. As always, with love. George & Matilda

  Verskillende Perspektiewe Die Gesprek Elemente Uit Die Gesprek Musiek Hierdie bekende stuk van ABBA gaan oor 'n verhouding wat tot 'n einde kom met die gepaardgaande emosies, veral wanneer daar verskillende verwagtinge is. Wat opval, veral in gevalle waar mens ruimte vir verskillende perspektiewe wil laat, is die frases: "I don't want to talk" en "The winner takes it all." Groot uitdagings in enige situasie. Soos altyd, met liefde. George & Matilda

  Conversations Far and Wide “.......let everyone be quick to listen, slow to speak, slow to anger;” ‭‭ James ‭1‬:‭19‬ NRSV           The Conversation Elements From The Conversation What a synchronicity!  A few moments after we've done the recording of this week's conversation, friends who have recently been to the US, sent us this picture. Even though its specific theme is the Truth Bar in Minneapolis, it has wider applications. Unintentionally it captures a stance that is quite common: Only those who are members of our group have access to the truth. With such an assumption, conversations with someone with another point of view, is not only difficult, but almost impossible. Music As always, with love.  George & Matilda

  Om Wyd Te Gesels “....... dít moet julle in gedagte hou:  elke mens moet maar te gewillig wees om te luister,  nie te gou praat nie  en nie te gou kwaad word nie.” ‭‭ Jak‭1‬:‭19‬                                             Die Gesprek Elemente Uit Die Gesprek 'n Besondere sinchronisiteit! Oomblikke nadat ons hierdie week se gespreksopname gedoen het, stuur vriende, wat onlangs in Amerika was, hierdie foto vir ons. Hoewel dit spesifiek betrekking het op die Truth Bar in Minneapolis, kan dit ook wyer toegepas word. Die uitbeeld van 'n basiese houding van: Net diegene wat lede van ons groep is, het toegang tot die waarheid. Met so 'n ingesteldheid, is die kanse op 'n gesprek met iemand wat 'n ander siening het, of nie my standpunt steun nie, basies onmoontlik. Musiek Soos altyd, met liefde. George & Matilda
