What is this stirring that occurs within me during casual social interaction? This nervousness and anticipation? What to say? What has been said? Initially it is an inner irritation and a feeling of being a little out of control. Then, hopefully somewhere along the way, a meaningful conversation develops. Then the initial nervousness subsides, and the beginning of a connection is made. Unfortunately this doesn’t always happen. But when it does, we can share our truth. We can speak from a place deeper within ourselves . And in rare cases, we can see each other for who we truly are.
