Back again!

Well, I'm back after some time away on a couple of courses run by Landmark Education, which have opened up a whole bunch of things for me, particularly about relationships with other people and how I see other people. Landmark run a number of fantastic courses, several of which I've done. What I've got out of their courses is the means to create the life I want for myself, rather than the life that seems to get dumped on my plate. It's let me really choose what my life is made up of, and I heartily recommend their work.

So what have I learned about relationships? Well, there was a lot about seeing other people simply as who they are - which naturally involves getting a whole bunch of crap out of the way. At the heart of the course, for me, was a quotation from Desmond Tutu: "A person is someone who sees others as 'person' ." I'm looking forward to seeing what happens when I really let people be themselves, rather than a set of my own assumptions.
