Conversations

It keeps happening. I have been having conversations with companions that seem to uncover scenes in me I never visited before. I have been discovering parts of me and my awareness that were previously a blur, even obscured and unseen. They are places I never visited before, and they suddenly come into focus. I am almost startled by what I hear myself saying in conversations.

I typically go about my days focused on trivial things it seems. It is in conversations with companions that I realize that these seemingly isolated experiences are actually connected. I discover in conversation that what I thought as fragments of my life are actually part of a complex tapestry. The mis-matched threads of my life begin to take on a shape I never saw before. But for conversations, they might have otherwise remained mere fragments. Now I see them part of a woven whole.
