Congruently meeting
When we are writing reflectively, we could be reflecting those of other centuries. When we reflect upon these other lives our lives here today develop congruently with these. This is the meeting, the conversing. This is each in-forming the other. We are touching and being touched by a conversing universal.

Love 300 years before?
It occurred to me that conversing is sharing heart and caring and this then can go back and forth across the centuries. Can we love these people 300 years before, 300 years ahead? Are we only better than they, and can ignore them? Can they stand in our face? What humanity do we share, and might we use our sharing to nurture humanity to be more sharing, caring, and kind?
