Recognizing the value of Reflection
Reflection is an act of value in the world. Its power rests in the recognition of what touches or impresses us about a given conversation or other experience.
Reporting is the action with which most of us are more familiar and comfortable. Reporting "what happened" or "what we discussed" can inform others of details, but it can't really convey the impact of of the experience.
Sharing a reflection of what struck me, or how a person or aspect of the event touched me has power to invite us all into an alternate future that is not based on agenda, efficiency and results-focused thinking alone.
