I think I learned more about how to speak Spanish from watching Spanish speaking soap operas than I did in my class in school.  The dramatic nature of the images allowed me to get a sense of what was being communicated verbally.  The images and interactions were so over the top you couldn’t help but pick up on what the actors were attempting to depict through language.  It was written on their faces.  Have you ever wondered what your life would depict if it was a silent film?  It sounds kind of funny.  The reality is despite our astute language skills we convey much more through our actions and energy.  The depiction of what is important to us is seen in what we do and what we spend our time on.  The depiction of who matters to us would be measured by our level of attention when with them.  Our interactions would depict whether or not we were listening, looking them in the eye, and if the energy flowing back and forth between us.  Our actions coupled with body language and facial expressions depict how we really feel about a situation regardless of what we are saying.  We do not give it much thought because specific words are easier to pinpoint.  Yet we have all walked into a room and known immediately whether the space in the room is the depiction of an okay or not okay place to be.  Our intention and attention have much more to do with what is depicted in any given situation about the status of our hearts and minds than anything we say.  If we start off by connecting with what is true for us at our core, we do not need to wonder about what is depicted by us in a given situation.
