What a tasty treat! I just got back from lunch with some of my best friends and I have to say it was probably the best-invested three hours I’ve had in a long time. It’s really crazy how certain commonalities simply don’t dissolve with time–perhaps, they even grow stronger. I have many friends with whom deep, meaningful conversation is possible at any moment; and I also have friends with whom deep, meaningful conversation is anticipated with every visit. The friends with whom I spent this afternoon reside in the latter category. To be honest, it never really mattered where the discussion was headed; what really mattered was that we were all equally eager to talk to one another. That’s the kind of conversation I really dig–the kind of conversation where virtually every word is dripping with significance and sincerity. It is in that kind of conversation with people such as those that I am able to lay my facade aside (whichever one I’ve chosen for the day) and relax a bit. There’s no need to have my guard up because I know it will never be necessary or useful. Rather, any guard would simply be a hindrance to the nearly surrealistic fellowship that can be achieved.
