Conversation is much work.

My reader: I take you into my confidence—as my peer—seeking together—wondering—wandering.

Dacher Keltner (Awe, p 28) calls awe a self-transcendent state. It is like fun, he writes, and now a door opens to what Bernie was trying to get me to comprehend with him. So the questions rise up out of the mist: does conversation lead to awe (for this person, this us, the possibilities of the universe?); or does awe lead to conversation? Or are they so entangled we don’t ever want to tease them apart?
:- Doug.
Might conversation be a kind of emotion, similar to how Keltner classifies awe an emotion?
