if you want to be understood...

if you want to be understood...

"seek first to understand, then to be understood..."
Stephen Covey

enclosed within. getting quiet in order to hear what is truly being said.

i've found myself thinking and writing about communication lately; both verbal and written. Communication is the main avenue to connecting with another human being which is innate in us as humans...and what we desire and fear the most.

To speak and be spoken to...to hear and be heard. The latter is so much harder to do...

I am in love with your portrait - it speaks to me. Sometimes when we finally shut-up we realise those precious moments are drifting by and we've missed them. Closing your mouth, opens your soul to the world.

A beautiful photograph. You should be so proud of your work.

Kelly - once again you astound me. Images and words together are so powerful... your thoughts on listening and hearing reminded me of some philosophy I read at Uni... I think you would love Ortega's writings on peoples relationships - speaker and listener. I love that your art makes us all think in different ways. So glad you're back on a creative roll
