Desiderata

before you post…

  • assess your comfort level
  • find comfort in discomfort (Stay engaged - the journey is worth the effort.)
  • be vulnerable
  • address strong emotions

while in discussion…

  • Reiterate.
    Restate to limit misunderstanding.

  • Contemplate.
    Move away from immediate emotional responses towards a deeper understanding of the topic opened up by the contributions of others.

  • Respire.
    Take a breath to settle thoughts and emotions during difficult conversations.

  • Communicate.
    Speak with compassion and thoughtfulness. Assume good intentions. Seek understanding. If challenge is appropriate (be careful!), challenge the statement rather than the person who said it.

Glossary

Hypanthium = a cuplike or tubular enlargement of the receptacle of a flower, loosely surrounding the gynoecium or united with it (the thing that becomes the outside of the rose hip)

glabrous = smooth, hairless

glands = a plant structure which secretes one or more products. This may be located on or near the plant surface and secrete externally, or be internal to the plant and secrete into a canal or reservoir.

infrastipular - at the base of a node - on a stem the place where a bud occurs

auricle - small ear-like projection from the base of a leaf or petal.

abaxial - the underside
