[001] the dialog is starting slowly....

we are trying to find out the best way for our approach,

to communicate in different form of Internet soft,

e-mail, skype, facebook......

Also the style is still not fixed yet.

Is it easier to write and read in dialogue form like in skype, or do I have to edit it?

I will try, and let's watch the feedback.

Feedback from me, from Argh and from the readers.

But the process them self, looking for some new way is already a creating process....

even we just started like a baby to crabble around, I can feel the "interest" of both side, and that is so important energy for doing something together, don't you think so, Argh?

here, a little dialogue started yesterday and I want share here:

==========================================================

Daya: why you came to this seminar?
(a world work seminar organized in Israel as conflict facilitation training)

Argh:

because i am intersted in dialog between Israeli and Palestinian in both side and with the international community

Daya: but, why were you interested? what was your thoughts behind your interest?

because, I saw there is not many people who are interested in that....

Israeli and Palestine participant from this seminar told me, that they also have difficulties to talk about it with the friends and people in their own area.

Argh: you know, after i get the intensive in Portland and we did go to yachat i heard about the first time there and form the name of it. "sitting in the fire"

i did wont to be part of it

Daya: I see, you were BEFORE that in intensive course of process work! and you told me once, you met the man who introduced you process work for first time...where?

Argh: in peace mission with an organisation called "breaking the ice", form Berlin (http://www.breaking-the-ice.de/index.php)

==========================================================

I want also talk a little about the language.

I just used the spell check soft ( amazing soft! it helpes me to write better English and I will NEVER learn the right spelling) changed few parts of our conversation that it is easier to read. but including the spell of the English words, I let it be how it was.

with following reasons:

reason 1)

first, I do not know English so well, had no chance to learn English at school because I was very busy to learn German and French, so I am not able to check the "right" writing.

reason 2)

I joined in so many group work and discussion situation, in real and in cyber space, and we were expected to speak English.

The English language was sooooo "normal " to use,

so many native English speaking people leading the conversation and the other who had more difficulties had to try to follow.

Difficult to follow because of the speed and the words...

(Oh, I have the desire to talk and write about rank awareness and about deep democracy, but now, I do not have the time for it and also, this is not the right place and moment...)

Anyway....

How many times I had to say, that they are speaking to fast and we can not understand?

How many times, I had to ask them TO WHO YOU ARE SPEAKING, if you want that I ( or the other people who can not speak English as well) understand YOU, please do not forget me.

Sometimes not only English speakers, when we are speaking in our native language, we forget to who we are speaking to.

Sometimes I have the feeling this person is just speaking for them self....

Of course, I catch myself that too!

How many times I found my self speaking so fast, when I speak Japanese or German.

Yes, English is a world wide spoken and learned language but why? there is so many political and historical facts and reasons behind this situation...

So, in one hand, as a perfectionist Japanese person, want to check the English and be nice and good, (a voice in me who is criticizing all the time that I am not good in English)

on the other hand, I know it is not necessary and so natural and so real, that we are not speaking and writing the perfect English. ( that makes me much more relaxed and take it easy to talk and use English)

I use English with him because we do not have any other languages right now to communicate. After few talk and after our own experience with the other culture, Argh know few Japanese words and I know few Arabic. just a little number of words. and it is so nice when we are using that, I feel the atmosphere and the energy of that moment is going up.

Argh has to learn for the TOEFL test, and I also have to write in English some text, I have to pay (wow) someone to edit it that I can pass this.... so there is few reality and rules in this world that we have to learn and be able to speak "perfect" English and when we are speaking about that, the air becomes more heavy and pressured, I quickly feel the ghost voice inside me, that to be able to speak perfect English is so such a privilege (rank) and I am so jealous about the people who are native speaking English. But this story is again, another story!

I am sure, this topic about the language will also come in our dialogue, we already talked few times about it.

see you!
