MONDAY MORNING LOVE: SMALL TALK, BIG ANSWERS
““We do not see things as they are, we see things as we are.”
David Brooks, How to Know a Person: The Art of Seeing Others Deeply and Being Deeply Seen
It is officially the month of July…let’s get it! My birthday is around the corner and life is wonderful.
When it comes to building relationships, there is one area that we often disregard, small talk. If it is assumed that you won’t care about the answers to basic questions, how will we ever expect to get those great answers?
Side by side we speak converse, even if we are facing each other. I’m with you in every syllable. If you can’t master small conversation how can you expect to navigate more intricate conversations?
By the way, How to Know a Person is a fantastic read with a fresh perspective on intimacy at every level. I prefer the audio version.
