I love the idea of conversations not flowing in small circles…very apt. One of the interesting things about this web site is conversations don’t happen in the moment, they can happen over weeks, possibly months, and include other conversations I may never be aware of. Very large circles indeed. Kinda cool to think about. Thanks for presenting that perspective.

And cheers for spontaneous poetry! Reminds me of something I wrote a while back I’ll add as poetic reply:

so much to talk about
conversation running it’s course
meandering through so many topics
the serious, the silly, the sublime
each moment so full
there’s no time for kissing

Hold your horses Valerie
no need to throw rocks.

Dear Valerie,
I do think you are starting conversations. Maybe not in the conventional sense of you saying something and we replying immediately but your posts and those of others that do choose to post may very well enlighten and influence those of us, your pretties, who haven’t posted. These conversations may not take short time periods. These conversations may not flow in small circles.

How many mouths does each of us have?

How many ears does each of us have?

I have heard that the perfect conversation is had with three people. There may always be more listeners than speakers.

But since you have nudged, invited, and encouraged us with love to share our thoughts, here goes.

Yes, if a tree falls in a forest it does make a sound; a noise even too. I do believe the perceptions of the squirrels are valid and worthy of inclusion as much as anyone else’s. Thank you.
