01.16.03 For someone who is just plain ordinary, like myself, it is hard to make a connection with someone else who thinks themselves extraordinary. Over lunch I told a story to a man who has spent his life in a classroom. So much education, so little learned. It was a regular story about a girl who was once me & I don't think he understood a word that I said. (Yeah, the lady in office 39 is insane. Yeah, that lady is me.) ---------- People are the words that they say... I think that we always forget... Forget that words are the ultimate joke of the universe. [And when we are ready to learn - the teacher will appear.] Thank you, Lane. Say to me: "I know exactly what you mean. What you feel." And I will say: "I know you do." Then later you will come back to me and say: " I am sorry, I didn't really understand." And I will reply: "I know you didn't." I will take that. (Conversations with myself) Just a little rainy-day static inside. |
