hmmm, yes 'the weather', sports, books read and enjoyed, are things I like to talk about, period.
Not to avoid the big weighty issues- but to pause, reflect, suck in a bit of air.
I ran through a phase where I neglected to take my own advice.
To have normal relaxed conversations- to enjoy friendship and company...
the big issues, the hidden issues, surface.
I no longer feel lost and alone...
