I think being together away from home in places like cars and conferences is very conducive to real conversations. As I told Sherry, however, it is also a joy to return home and to a kind of solitude. I live both outwardly and inwardly--and inwardly allows me sometimes to see the past-present-future from wiser more experienced perspectives. I am surprised to find myself growing more conservative!

I...I love that sort of conversation, and I miss it. I'm glad my husband and I travel as much as we do, because we never have time for in-depth conversation at home the way we do in the car, or on a train, a ship, or even in a plane. Then we are "together" in a way we're not when he's thinking (necessarily) about his work and I'm left to talk to the dog.<br />The thought of Izy reigning you (the wild horse) in, and your word-play with poli-poet-ical were both delightful here, Susan. I'm so happy I read this.<br />KKay L.

I know what it is like to experience that fullness of fellowship and support, then how it is to return to our hermitage. Sounds very enriching, at any rate.Sherry Blue Skyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10769154286598233146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834340550340947913.post-85558203758052918932012-10-26T19:43:17.958-04:002012-10-26T19:43:17.958-04:00Wow, Chuck, great to see you here!

I must say, it was fun to hang out with Maria, Elke, Doris, and Blair again. We missed you.
