Conversations.
On any given day, you may find yourself in any number of conversations.  They vary from far and wide.  Heaven only knows really.

They could be about any little thing, or grow in any direction.  It is all a big surprise…. what any one of them could bring.
Today for instance.  I had numerous chats with people.  Their ages ranged from  from 2 years to 90 years.

A dear friend of mine said…  “If I could come back as anything in the next life, I’d come back as a buzzard.  That way people would surely leave you alone.”  Now that is an true introvert… I would have to say.

A little later, my lovely life partner asked… “How could I improve on the potato salad, the next time I make it?”  To which I responded…. “You can’t.  THIS right here… THIS is THE perfect potato salad.”  And she said…”Next time, I think I’ll add more mustard.”   Arrrrrrggggghhhhhhh.

Then… in another conversation (while playing a video game), I told a six year old… “You are going to have to fight him tooth and nail.  Get in there and get the guy.” To which he responded… “What is tooth and nails, Polly?”   Ohhhhh.

I brought my Mom to our house for the Memorial Day Cookout.  When I took her back to her “home” …. she asked….. “Now who’s house were we just at?”  Double Oh.

You see.  The conversation can lead you any where.  Down any path.   The interactions can make you laugh, cry, ponder, wonder, or sigh.  Sometimes they make you happy, and sometimes they might upset you.  It is all part of the give and take, the interaction, the connection…. the holy-moly dealings we have with others.  Our communications… which keep us connected in life.  To everyone.  Everywhere.

Unless of course…… you are a buzzard.    And in that case….  well…. you’ll be a buzzard.
