During the past ten years a great deal of attention has been given to “telling it like it is.” My impression is that this devotion 21 speaking one’s mind has more often 22 hurt feelings and ruined relationships than to great joy. FYu=e?L
I think we generally agree that never 23 real feelings and withholding all less-than-lovely thoughts about each other 24 leads to construct communication. It’s a great 25 to allow ourselves to admit our human weaknesses and pursue more honest relationships with others.26 we need to keep a balance between telling it all and telling nothing. X`FFI6pb
Recently I received a letter from a mother who had been 27 by her son to attend a weekend meeting with him.28 pressure from the group her defenses cracked and she heard herself telling her son for the first 29 that he had been an accident-that she hadn’t been planning to have a 30 . He, in turn, told her that he couldn’t 31 a single day in his childhood that he’d been happy. “At that time”, this woman wrote, “it seemed helpful. We cried and we made up, I thought telling 32 truth had been good for us. But the trouble is, it wasn’t the whole truth. By the time Tommy was born I did want him, and 33 he was happy. Ever since that day, we’ve both been troubled by some terrible 34 we exchanged.” I must admit I’ve come to the conclusion that some things are better left 35. Honesty is a fine policy, but we need a new sense of balance. Disclosing is not a 36 to every problem. Nor even an end 37. It’s useful under some circumstances and terribly hurtful under 38. It’s a good idea, I think, to bite your tongue for ten or fifteen minutes before saying what’s on your 39. Try to decide whether it’s going to open up new and better ways of communication or 40 wounds that may never heal. 7|eD}=jy

Passage 1 "Oh(&N:U
The film The Tides of Kirawira, which won two awards at a recent television festival, was made by Mark Deeble and Victoria Stone. The couple are in England to visit friends and family before heading back to Tanzanoa for their next project. b'N(eka
“We met in London when Mark was studying zoology and I was at the Royal College of Art studying photography,” says Victoria. “We both learned to dive at the same pool in London and went on diving weekends in the country. It was a horrible place, freezing cold, where we dived in wetsuits full of holes. But at least we got our qualifications.” JPX5Jm()
After their studies they became involved in the management of a conversation area in the mouth of the River Fal in Cornwall. “We needed some underwater photographs,” says Victoria. “I turned the pictures into a traveling exhibition. Then we heard about plans to expand the port at Falmouth,” she continues. 9*+%Qt,{B
“We were horrified. Nobody seemed to be aware of the river’s ecological importance. So we thought, why don’t we make a film to show people what a special place it is? ”A television company agreed to found them and the film they produced about the underwater life of the River Fal was shown on television and won a number of awards. rN'')n/
F
By then, they both knew they wanted to work with wildlife in distant places around the world. “We found that working underwater had created an opportunity in the highly competitive world of wildlife film-making,” says Victoria. “The next thing that happened was that Alkan Root, the famous East African wildlife film-maker asked us to work for him.” 'Zdjd]
That was seven years ago and the job took them to the Serengeti to film crocodiles. Their film, Here Be Dragons, was a huge success. “Everyone loved the contrast between the extraordinary love of the mother crocodiles for their babies and the horror-movie aspect of the six-metre males, attacking wildebeest,” Says Victoria. Mark and Victoria were soon on their travels again, this time to the coast of America, to make a film called Devil Fish for BBC television. “We love Africa but we have to come back to England every year,” says Victoria. “We need to return to see our friends and family. For us, Africa is temporary and England means permanence. It’s the difference between living in a tent in Tanzania and a house in Cornwall. We are lucky…we have the best of both worlds.” 8tM40/U$
