I cannot give justice to the day.
I was with a group in a Training context.
I am blessed.

The objective was all about the awareness and skills needed to work developmentally with young humans who have the real potential to commit acts of violence on other humans - including staff.
It was all about understanding our own feelings, behaviour and thoughts and being able to understand those in the beautiful young human who is ready to explode.

Only when we can clock our own behaviour, feelings and thoughts can we start to understand another. Getting into a new developmental place is not something that can be done quickly - I is not like learning a mathematical puzzle. Having an answer is not the aim - it is stepping forward, and continuing to step on.

I saw eyes which were being peeled and begin to see.
I saw humans beginning to say "I felt like a child" - and that is a grown human speaking.
Another saying that they had spoken down to a young human and saw the body frame before them shudder and curl up.
Another who was becoming a different human than the one who had been brought up in the same skin.
A new interior was adopted before my eyes.
"I have decided to live differently".
"I have come to a crossroads and I am taking a different approach, a new way of communicating".

We were moving through development to
'consciously incompetent' - and then the next step .......

These are humans who face aggression and conflict - frontier workers.
I said I could not explain - didn't I?

It was a group experience of everyone listening to one another.
It was deep and sensitive.
It was reaching out and touching heaven.
I said I would have difficulty - maybe I will try again tomorrow.
