Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech

 We had a pleasant women's group outside on a patio, and we were more relaxed.  I believe we are more comfortable with the pandemic at this moment.  We know about what is happening in Britain, but are more concerned about the Ukraine.   I felt more detached than usual, but maybe because I simply had nothing to say.  I encouraged another member to speak up about an issue that another member hadn't been present to hear about, and I was glad I did, because the member got more useful feedback.  I was supporting her, and not listening to myself.  But I also noticed another member seemed to dominate, and I took note of that.  I won't take any action, but I'm aware.  More is learned by me when I listen, rather than talk.  And I'm grateful to be in a position where I don't NEED to talk.  I'm okay, and looking forward to some days at the cabin with my older son, his wife, son and my husband.  There may even be lupine already!
