Unfolding Conversation

A conversation perfect may not be
for we ever want more of it
and it ever goes its own way
but if we will first set out
we will make it better than planned
:- Doug.
We need, first, to wrestle out how to have our conversation, and, second, about what.

Raising the temperature another degree works against conversational progress. Backing away might help, might provoke. Asking questions and developing curiosity—we don’t know how and we cannot predict the dog-kick effect.
:- Doug.
One center of conversation is hurt, another is assumption, another is fear. These animate conversation. These bring in unexpected energy and turns, dog-kicked, a conversation kicked. What we do with that as well as what we will want to do with that, are both unknowns. Might someone become fascinated by these choices?
