Sound Off for Thanks
Of course, we have so many ways
of using words to express our thanks.
But theres another way of using sound
that often communicates our appreciation
more powerfully than words can ever do:
Nonverbal sounds. Moans, groans, squeals, and screams!
Hmmmmm?
One of the reasons Ive felt so appreciated
by most Japanese women in conversations with them
is because of the sounds (not words)
they constantly utter to let me know they are listening
and are interested in what I am saying.
One of the reasons we feel so appreciated by our cat
when she is lying on our lap and we are stroking her,
is the purring sound she gives back to us.
One of the reasons we feel so appreciated by our children
when they like something
is the spontaneous sounds they utter.
One of the ways people most powerfully communicate their appreciation for our cooking
is by their moans of delight as they
eat what we have cooked.
A major reason we feel so appreciated by our lover
is the groans, the moans, and the screams
stimulated by what we are doing to him.
I know that it is often an act of courage
for me to express my pleasure
to the masseuse with moans and groans
when I am getting a massage from her.
I strongly suspect that the masseuses
especially enjoy giving me a massage
(compared with other men) because they can hear
the difference they are making for me.
How might you begin
to choose the courage to create an intention
to express your thanks and appreciation
with the use of moans, groans, and other sounds?
