what's it like to be awake while talking

wonderful

bright

full awareness of our own bodies, breathing

light coming in, awareness

seeing, enjoying, listening to the other

no words getting ready to say in our heads

no hurry to say our bit, or our next sentence

feeling our tongue and our resonance as we speak

hearing our words as we speak

realizing if we are saying something new and
true
or
just running
some
familiar same old crap
tape

loving what the other says

curious,
excited,
in love:
who is this other person????
