Conversation

I’ve learned a lot on my own over the years.  I love to read, so books have fed my mind and tickled my imagination.  As an introverted person, I recognize the importance of quiet time once in awhile.  It’s in the quiet that my batteries are recharged and my strength renewed.  Today, though, I’m remembering conversations and feeling a rush of gratitude for friends and family who, through the years, have advised, encouraged, and helped me clarify life.

Sometimes, however, the best conversation is just sitting together without saying a word.  Can conversations of the spirit happen even when words aren’t uttered?  Can minds or hearts connect even in the lovely moments of simply sitting together, merely being in each other’s presence?  I think so.
