Good morning,
I had a dream this morning before I woke. I'm pretty sure it has something to do with Community Building so I wanted to share it.
In the dream, I'm an observer of a presentation by a company that reviews high tech products. The Vice President of the tech-review company was making a presentation to one of its clients. (I have no idea what they did but, somehow, I was invited to participate.)
After some brief remarks standing, the VP sits down in a comfy chair -- obviously one that she has transported there -- and begins "emptying" in traditional CB methods. She talks about a woman who stuck out her tongue in defiance. Then, she proceeds to tell us that she was scared to come here today; she didn't know what to expect and thought she might not be received well.
She's almost in a reclining position as she's speaking; her feet are on an ottoman. And, all eyes are riveted on her. I hear someone close to me start crying; the cryer has obviously been moved and is touched by what the VP is saying.
I'm incredulous: I look at the VP speaking and I think "I have to share this with my CB friends....there's a company out there that practices CB methods: authentic communications...and...they make money doing this..."
I focus back on the situation, leaving the daydream within the dream, and I now hear 20 children -- of all colors and sizes -- singing. Other observers are being moved to tears, too. I peek through a lot of bodies to see the children: they're happy.
Somehow, I understand that this is what they do: they, even the children, review high-tech products and build community. That's what they do in their company. And, then, they take that "show" to their clients who subscribe to their services.
I awoke. My cat wanted breakfast and was waiting over me, wanting to get in her early morning "rubs." The image of the children singing is still vivid in my head. I must do something related to community building today.
Thanks for reading.
