What a lovely broad topic has chunked on in from the guys from the ecoTrain, because communication is something I haven been writing about over the last couple of weeks a bit more. Sometimes this was about language and how good and bad I was in learning some of this, sometimes it was about online communication and how annoying it can be how heroes are hiding behind their computer. I guess this will end up in a freewrite from my thoughs about this (heck everything I write always ends up in a freewrite hahaha) so follow me along in the journey.
The underlying issue why communication sometimes doens't seem to work is where the word from this title comes settling in
Commune-ication

To me the whole idea about how comunication works is that sender and receiver have to be on the same channel for us to understand each other. Now the first thing that is important for already for a message to be received is that everyone must udnerstand their role in this process. Back in growing up this already started we we learn that when one is talking, the others have to listen carefully and when finished then it is your turn to talk
Now this is where often the online versions or what I was writing about my 'The subtle art or debating' post. Often the receiver is not totally interested in hearing or reading what the sender has to say, and this is when discussing will totally die. In the 'commune' we are trained as kids on how social behavior should take part.
The funny thing I find this to see where this totally works our is often in the non verbal communication where nothing has to be said. I see this at my works in surgery for instance.

In general in an operating room we have very clear communication. Even more often we don't work in packaging our words in the polite way because the situation doesn't let that happen. The sender is someone who wants something done, and the receivers are the team to make this happen.
We often work with the short communation like 'clamb' and then a clamb is given very speedy, versus the 'could you be so kind to have me the clamb maybe, because there might be a major bleeding here which could the presence of your beautiful clamb'
This is how our commune-ication functions. It is short and functional. No hard feelings.
But the non-verbal communication in these rooms are even better. When a surgeon looks up, you can see from the sight that he is seeing something which is different. Already from that sight I would look at my teammembers and nod, and they would already know what they need to start getting together. In general, we don't have to speak a word about this. The team is in play.
The commune knows how this works without even saying a word. Sender and receiver see the endgoal.
An other non verbal communication which happens here a lot is the commune-ication between dog owners and their beloved pooch. I saw some nice ones of these throughout the week again here, and that it perfectly suits this topic.

For some reason, pets just have the perfect skill in picking up your vibe. Even without words are spoken their behavior will adapt to how your behavior is. For instance, this week we were all a bit under the weather here. A bit sick and a lot of couch time. But couch time still means going to walk with the dog. Occasionally I would take a little bench in the sun to just take a rest for a bit during the waks in the sun, not really looking for company but just to sit there.
The pooch would literally bark everyone away from my bench, while normally this isn't something that he would do. But this was actually perfect. He felt that that was needed. The commune-ication from our pack is flawless.
Also the funny thing is when calling the dogs' name I find. We do this an x-amount of times during a day, when you want him to come over, when he has does something bad, or just when you want attention or want to annoy him. Regardless in what way, the dog will always pick up the intonation from just callin his name and know then what to do.
In the other way around I watch his behavior carefully and observe his tail and how his ears are standing to see in what kind of state of mind he is. The pack works.
To me commune-ication is always about the sender and the receiver being in line. And what better way to have this than in your own commune-ity
