Animated conversation is wonderfully fulfilling. Some might say, true communication lives in body language; those gestures, that smile, the eye-twinkle. Sometimes listening to the sound of you breathing in and out drowns the tonal vitality and perhaps the meaning of your words, and I fear I might miss what it is you are saying. Yet my heart always hears what is truly important. |

Oh, absolutely right, Kacy! The heart is fine tuned, you see, to always hear the important stuff. I'm so glad you are able to listen. Helen |

This simple and relevant truth is the reason I love to hear poets read their work, talk to people in person, meet them through all of my senses. A very perceptive piece. Lynda |

Kacy, no wonder you are such an excellent communicator - you listen with all your senses, but most of all with your heart. Lovely poem, I read it twice, and after having saved it into my Midnitesun folder, will read it more. - Owl |

Yo Midnitesun, Body language says a lot around here. It's an Italian neighborhood, and family. Bobby |

I've read this a few times, and I find myself arguing back and forth... It's true that anybody can type the right words into a box, but there is a certain style that some have that is as sure as fingerprints upon the keys... so I dunno. But it did remind me of one of my favorite quotes-- "It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye." -Antoine De Saint-Exupery That was my signature on e mails for a long time, but...white on white? Nobody ever "caught it". But I do hope the essence was there...  Much enjoyed! |

Read and re-read with pleasure. This is extraordinarily intimate, with a perception beyond what most folks observe. |
