Familiar
Sometimes I want to reach out, but I don’t feel like writing, or drawing, or conversing. And so I become a ghost, or a waterfall, or a storm. Chances are, that’s when we met.
These three sentences have me held suspended. When we are present and not and look back after and realize who was in front of us. These three sentences let me stop and open my eyes and slow down, be very slow when in contact with others, or understand more when someone is not present in front of me.
We might add, Robert, that it’s possible that we don’t always know where we are at a given moment or where we’ve been. I’m pleased that you found so much meaning in these few lines.
Thank you, Rudhi! And I have the mane to prove it....
when i was pretty ill in the past, i felt more in touch with life than at any other time... and i reached out with something more powerful within me than i could even begin to imagine now.... thank you for bringing that back...

Yes! I reach out my finger and stir the molecules in the pot...wondering at the stew and who will partake.
I use a wooden spoon myself.
Sometimes there is no need to reach out for you have become a part of their thoughts and come to their mind unbidden but always welcomed warmly...
What a beautiful statement. I think we’re all on the receiving end of that equation more than we ever know.
Un bon petit verre de chouchen et cela ira mieux... Bisous
Martine, I like the way you think.
yes ...
and,
might i add,
thank goodness
for that.
A feeling that goes both ways.
Hello, Noxy.
when i was pretty ill in the past, i felt more in touch with life than at any other time... and i reached out with something more powerful within me than i could even begin to imagine now.... thank you for bringing that back...
The barriers were down. We have powers, I think, that would surprise, even frighten us.

Laughter is one of them. And so we meet again.
