Attend the variations

We might pay attention to the variations among individuals. That is what we do daily, especially in conversation. It is what we forget to do daily in interactions with clerks, custodians, and children.

Footprints in the Windsm # 2348–Just another curtain

Footprints in the Windsm # 2348

It is not deeper, nor necessarily farther in where we “go.” It is just another curtain, even if less often opened, or never before opened. It might be more painful than other curtains, or less. It might be more intricate or less. Probably each curtain is just as close to home.

painful falsity

The growth we seek is not magic. It comes in every conversation in which we open to a new and possibly painful falsity in what we knew for certain.

Mechanical is as mechanical feels

If it feels mechanical, it is. Don’t keep pushing. Turn somewhere else in your conversation. Fresh paths rejuvenate.

You must study opera

If you want to learn about conversation, you’ve got to study architecture, Vodou, forests, underground rivers, and octopuses. And opera. You must study opera.

Footprints in the Windsm # 2346–Human size

Footprints in the Windsm # 2346

Conversation has the benefit of being human size. We can hear our voice. We can have it heard. We cannot get this on the national stage or even in our gatherings. We can discover and have our discovery heard with respect and awe.

Different mountaintops

How sure can we be that big things are composed of smaller? There is a school that holds that the big bring about the smaller. I suppose these two are simply looking to explain the same reality from different mountaintops. What do we do with these notions, so as to learn of conversation? Does the conversation bring about these two persons? Do the complexities draw up as from a well the persons to embody them? Are we parts of one another because our species has an in-bred tug one of the other? Does the novel call the voices, and then the voices call the characters?
