[...] and people can easily grow up learning about everything BUT their emotions, as the presence of the Wonder Weasels and Lesser Weasels [...]

Thanks for the quick reply.I guess for myself it’s like learning anything new or in a new way it’s an opening to Life in a fearless way & not closing my Heart/Mind.

Hi Michael! That’s a good question. I have to think about it.

In terms of actual languages with grammar and sentence structure, etc, the language of emotions is not a language. But if you don’t understand emotions and nuance and subtext and motivation, you won’t really understand spoken or written language very well. So the language of emotions is necessary for the understanding of language in general.

Maybe it’s a nonverbal para-language, or a proto-language? Or a language support structure? Good question!

Karla would You consider learning the language of emotion a type of bilingualism or is that stretching?

Weasels do that! I mean that in a non-defamatory way, of course.

Brilliant! I love it. Especially the alliterative way it has weaselled into my head.

Janice, thanks for working with emotions and empathy in whatever way you can. Your people are lucky to have you! Thank you for bringing empathy into a waiting world!

I think I’ve got an idea for a new musical: Weasel Words in Funky Town!

Thanks, Karla! I had a chance Sunday and today to really use some weaselwords~ even the Lesser Weasels:-). They really help when the other person is obviously in some emotional distress, but doesn’t have the skills to work with the mood state emotion. It is hard to watch someone drown in sadness. grief, etc, and have their primary means of dealing with the emotion be distraction. I’m giving it time and letting them know I am there if they want to talk.
How about “In a funk” for another weasel (they multiply like rabbits, the darn things:-)))).
