how do you communicate, he said? I want to learn how. how do you do it?

by planting your feet on the ground. by being stable. by not letting the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune toss and turn you.

what? I don't get it.

when the sands of old father time start their little dustdevils and you are surrounded by unforeseen mental or outward disturbances, and you are on the verge of losing 'it', the proverbial 'it', that is when you have to summon your earth powers. your ability to not be thrown. your ability to stand your ground. and when you can literally and figuratively stand on your ground then you can communicate better because it is finally then that you are able to really be who you are no matter what the situation is and if you are truly being who you are, then you are communicating who you are whether you are trying to or not. it's happening. you will know what to do, how to act, what to say because you are being your authentic 'you' no matter how pretty or unsavory that 'you' happens to be in that particular moment.
