As I was jotting down a few things in preparation of our upcoming Compassionate Communication groups, I came across a quote in Rosenberg’s book that I missed the first time and thankfully caught this time.

“The Sufi poet Rumi wrote, Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and right-doing, there is a field. I’ll meet you there.”

Judgment, according to Rosenberg, alienates us from our natural state of compassion. The field, in my mind is a beautiful, loving, and peaceful place that I hope through Compassionate Communication am able to reach.
