Do you remember the last time one of your senses betrayed you? Your eyes, those squishy face-eggs lured you down a path that left you lost? One minute you were in control, the next you found yourself fiddling offshore like a rudderless ship in foreign waters.
Mm, mm. Loved this one Tobi! I attended a workshop with a friend who later asked me how I knew the instructor. I said I didn’t. Confused, she asked why I acted so familial towards him. I said I treat most people like that now (in the modern age of suspicion and division at least HERE in the States where you take a walk around your neighborhood and people refuse to look you in the eye!). Sometimes these overly friendly expressions awkward, but often they’re just disarming. Your eyes may have deceived you but your soul craved the connection!
Haha my brother sometimes likes to wave at strangers' cars when he's driving and stops at a red light. He's gotten all kinds of responses - the warmest smiles, polite fake laughs, confused looks, mean eyes, been flipped off too. Have you gotten any interesting responses when you act so friendly/familial to people?
Please tell your brother I think he’s AWESOME!!! I got just the classic “stare straight ahead without acknowledgment” on my walk tonight. Which I guess beats the “incensed gasp” I got the other day! People! 😂
This is beautiful ❤️
thank you Paolo :)
