Why do we need profound things?

:- Doug.

Posit:
There are things which most find profound.
Conversation touches these things.
We can point recognizably to these things.
Finding the profound things helps us remember. Us.

:- Doug.

People tend to agree on the deeply personal things, the things which are welcoming, which feel homey and friendly. So I can use that even if people do not agree that beauty is not only in the eyes of the beholder.

:- Doug.

I want to explore how to ask people about what a deep conversation would do, look like. If you could have a conversation with 2 or 3 people, alive now or at some other time, who would you want to engage? What would you talk about today, this first meeting? What would such a talk feel like? Where would it take you? What would be the setting—a garden, a campfire, some other place?

:- Doug.

If we want to get to depths we need not only be alert for when they appear, but to plumb for them in likely places and times. Places might be people, these people; times might be more mercurial yet subject to being probed with questions, jocularity, lightness, invitation, and story.
