During our holiday to Greece I've accidentally stumbled back upon this blog spot that I set up several years ago. It's been fascinating to skim back through what I thought and said over those years of change.
Being on holiday gives time to step back and reflect, and Ina mindfulness way, ask simple questions with significant meanings. Being in a country with layers of cultural and political history that go back millennia it is fascinintg to think of ideas that emerge that live on and those that fade with time.
I've also read two of Conn Ingulden's books on the Wars of the Roses and been reminded how human conflict is often born out of suspicion (bad) luck self interest and missed messages. The intrigue of this period with its subplots that go back into history and are built on a need to preserve into the future , demonstrate that no matter what is said what is heard can be different.
Good Ideas and good communication need to be linked to ensure survival. At the same time Communication needs to be understood as what is heard and understood rather than what is said and broadcast. Tudor England and Ancient (and Modern) Greece shows that.
I'll return from Greece rested and relaxed but also aware that history has lessons that act as nudges and prompts for today.
