Re: Transforming Occasions

One thing I wanted to say about this transforming conversation, and 
I'm just now recalling, is that I've long since archived all this to 
CD storage, so I can't recall the *actual* questions with any 
accuracy.

I'm fairly certain, however, that I've "reconstructed" the whole 
experience as a transforming occasion after the fact. To my way of 
thinking this is natural though, not a "false" way of looking at 
things. It became, in memory, the starting point of a transformation 
that took place over a much longer period.

That's part of it. I might say, now, that I had been asking for my 
own advice.

That too.

I'm now remembering the questions as being the catalysts not just for 
reflection, but also for further action: I went back to my boss after 
the initial conflict which was the topic of the first part of the 
conversation, and conducted these discussions differently from the 
discussions (or arguments) we'd had before. Then I reported back to 
the list.
