I went to a 40 hour mediationI went to a 40 hour mediation training this past summer and bought that book from the trainers. I hadn't thought about it ahead of time, but as soon as the training started I realized that it was peacemaking. One thing I noticed about the tools that are taught is that different forms of love are used such as gratitude, empathy, acceptance, patience and not judging, persuading or making decisions for them. Thanks for bringing Jennifer to us.
I'm not sure about the question, Jo, but I'll take a stab at it. Would mediation work for the Irish? I think the answer is that it has, that a good part of what has facilitated the slow, even painful, progress toward a resolution of the English/Irish/Northern Ireland dispute has been mediation techniques, with some methods and tools that are specific to that kind of conflict, as Jenny discussed. Non-mediation techniques, used by both sides, like war and bombings and imposed decisions by one side or the other, have mainly aggrevated the tensions. There is so much more we have to learn about peace and working things out, but mediation is definitely helping us on our way.
Mark and Crew...Thanks forMark and Crew...Thanks for the PBS video and commentary re frac sand/shale mining. Your program touches many areas with thoughtful ideas, memorable music and,in this case, opportunities for others who missed the PBS interviews to revisit what's happening in Wisconsin via the mantra "jobs" take priority over clean air, water and productive lands and waters. We, through documentaries and books, lament what prairie folk in Oklahoma and elsewhere decades did to boost profits from their land by tillng stabilizing grasses and other practices leading to "Dust Bowl" areas that produced choking dust storms, bug and animal infestations, and ruination of homelands, lives and productive land. Today, with much chatter about "Going Green" the coming frac mining disasters cause doubt that we'll ever get our priorities straight when it comes to protecting healthful an productive environments,those with clean air and water, the intelligent and careful use of natural resources and community protection of scenic and recreational lands and waters. But time's a wasting.
I'm pretty sure I listened toI'm pretty sure I listened to this before because I have mentioned it to a caller on the crisis line where I work who was describing a classic case of moral injury to me. Thanks.
What a delightfulWhat a delightful conversation. As a fruit farmer up north from you and your guest this was of obvious interest. One thing Inga mentioned that I can relate to was a few years ago she sold her cows because she was getting lonely on the farm. In the last few years, I have found myself in employment situations that are quite solitary and don't often have company on the farm. It doesn't help that my favorite side hobby is to go out in the woods and make bike trails. I seldom even see people in the woods during hunting season; there's just too much room for the hunters. Someday I'll figure out a way to bring people to the farm or else get myself out into a more social lifestyle. I'm not too religious either but like the idea of invoking patron saints or angels.
