Meetings

The dynamics of any meeting are interesting to observe... but not when you are involved. Sitting for the council meetings, I get a fair glimpse of how and where things proceed and can by now tell where and in what way a discussion would end. Yesterday's commission meeting too was interesting. Each of us with a different perspective trying to put our heads together for a common purpose. It was easier said than done. But in all this I should say, we gain a greater clarity - but not always. With so many elements involved, most importantly our prejudices and attitudes, things do get complicated. We intend to something, but say something else, it is understood as something else and finally recorded as something else. So there you see! The best part of all this is that it happens with the best of intentions. There is no malice or confusion, but great zeal to do the best.
