Exactly.

When Liz and I talk to each other it's with our hands, the creases in the corners of our eyes and our whole hearts. I'll start a sentence and she'll finish it for me. In our conversations we usually end up constructing these art directed fantasies that only take time (sometimes seconds, sometimes years) to manifest. In my mind I like to take on the whole world - I visualize my life, as I want it to be, in transparent layers (upon layers) and big pictures. Meanwhile Liz is taking on the details - she's boiling them down to their essence until they become this kernel of beauty and truth. Some kind of magic happens as we concoct these fantasies together - we trade stories about the grand future and the beauty in the present moment. Our conversations become a back-and-forth dance of adjectives, nouns and verbs. We affirm each other with words like clearly and exactly.

When Liz shared with me a link to her new blog (starting with a post that made me cry) I knew that it would be beautiful and articulate. And it is. I knew the details would take me to the magical places our face-to-face conversations do. And they do. Now you're invited to go there too.
