===========================
communicating is like playing catch ball
I throw the ball and you catch it
the you throw the ball and I catch it
and again I throw the ball ......

'I want to tell you about my feelings'
that is how communication began
just as we need to throw a ball
back and forth to have a game of catch
we need to tell each other our feelings
to communicate

if you are to close together or
you are too far away from each other
it is not easy to play catch
communicating is the same
if you are too far away from your loveror your friend or
your child or your parents
it's not easy to communicate

communicating doesn't begin
with both people speaking at the same time
one side or the other
must make a move
someone has to throw the ball first

but you may not want to throw
the ball first - you may want to wait
for someone to throw it it you first
because when you throw the ball
and no one tries to catch it
you are unhappy

there are times
when you are unexpectedly rejected

there are times when you throw the ball
wanting to play with another person
only to have the person throw it to someone else

to be continued
