Same as home same as story?
The question I was pondering last night was how the notion of home-making fits with metaphor and with conversation? Is conversation about conversation? Is it about getting work done? Is it about making home? Is it for its own sake? Is it for life? Is it of the essence or is it a tool? Is conversation the same as home the same as story?
The latter attracts me, but is it real, is it true to what I know and observe? That is a question. And this is perhaps a bigger thing we don’t know about conversation.

Metaphors a-hiding
What are the metaphors hiding within what we each are saying? What are the events, who are the characters in these stories, and how might knowing they are there ennoble us to go on?

Story to metaphor to us
What is the thread from story to metaphor to us? Is it a path for conversation?

If plants story
If the plants can tell us a story, we’d be wise to hear. To tell, to talk, to tale: conversation is birthed.

Beyond growing close
Perhaps conversation is to go beyond growing close: perhaps it is to make a home.
