Good Friends. Good Conversation.

A conversation is the linking of words to make coherent statements expressing ideas, opinions and desires, but when you add a good friend and Starbucks, a conversation is so much more than that. It turns into a linking of those ideas opinions and desires that transcends the simple words that are used. That kind of conversation is a linking of friends and even of souls. Five hours spent sitting outside of "the people who are taking over the world", also known as Starbucks, and not only do I learn a lot about my fellow addict, but I learn a lot about myself. I am taken in to this give and take of knowledge between friends. Sharing ourselves with one another at an attempt to humanize what we are, to bring to light all the inner workings of what we experience.

I enjoy the company of people in general, but there is definitely something about sitting and talking to someone you truly appreciate as a friend. Christa has to be one of those people who I can sit and have a five hour long conversation with. We probably could have sat there for another five hours and not have ran out of anything to say to one another. I attribute this to the fact that both Christa and myself are of deep intellectual character. We have goals and opinions. We know who we are, or at least who we want to be, and that pushes us on to delve into the deeper levels of conversation that some people are just unable to reach.

There is just something about learning from one another that makes the whole experience of bonding with someone so enjoyable. I enjoyed every moment I spent talking to Christa last night. Everything we talked about led us to something more. I am blessed to have people in my life that I can freely express my thoughts to. It was the highlight of my day, and it made everything seem worth it. I love how something as simple as good conversation with a good friend can make the mundane seem little in comparison to the greatness that we encounter at the oddest of times.
