The language of opening and closing space

Notice how tone of voice in conversations acts to either shut down exploration or open it up. Choice of words matters as well because of the emotional charge of words regardless of the under and over tones. Same goes for the stories we tell each other that name and assess our experience. Some stories invite further inquiry; others shut off inquiry - as when people speak in suggestions in contrast to speaking in dogmas.

    Whatever. I have no idea what you are talking about.

    (Just kidding ;-) thought you’d like an example.)

    Cheers — like the blog.
