It would not mean that everyone had to be chatting it up all the time. I mainly want to maximize the FLOW of the conversation or communication (whatever form it might take) and keep it going at a heatlhy pace. I would want to do this while others were unaware of it. I'd want to do this like a tide creeping in, or like night shade passing behind a billowy curtain or something. No one whould have to know. But, eventually, people would mingle and be more daring and more direct and more friendly.
YES! Anything's better than the conversations around here. I guess it's the farming culture deeply rooted, but all I get out of people are weather comments. Eek! Tell me more about Perelandra or whatever country Marcos is studying. Tell me about lighthouses in Phoenicia or Aristotle's conversations with Nietsche. Help me! My mind is a vacuum! (Maybe that didn't come out right...)
