A Lovely Question

Tell me something about you that I don’t know yet.

Someone asked me this once and I will never forget it. What a lovely question, I thought and still think. What a truth-seeking, soul-baring, laying your heart out on your sleeve question, should you choose to allow it to be. For me, getting to know someone is so beautiful. I love to sit quietly and talk, just talk, laugh, smile, share the moment, taste the anxiety of uncertainty, lavish the thrill of the unknown like perfume to intoxicate the senses. How charming; how intriguing; how beguiling it can be, should you choose to allow it to be.

(Getting to know someone can also be as painful as dental surgery and similarly as gruesome, but we won’t focus on that right now. I’ll leave that for another post.)

So something YOU don’t know about ME yet. I guess this is as good a place as any to start, since you are already very well aware of how much I adore words, Shakespeare, and poetry (and Star Trek). (and if this is one of your first dips into the pool of my idiosyncrasy, I’ll wait should you like to page backwards and peruse ……………)

Getting to know someone, yes, truly splendid; particularly if you take each step slowly, enjoying each moment as you walk along, sharing the sights and sounds along the way, stepping from one stone stretching across the pond to the next gently, unhurriedly. Discussing anything, everything, likes, dislikes, certainties, uncertainties, strengths, weaknesses, dreams, fears, and little known secrets you don’t share with just anyone. How unquenchably thirsty this journey can make you, leaving you ever desiring more, ever hoping to discover something new; and if honesty and genuineness direct those conversations and walks and quiet, long talks, how remarkably long it can take to truly get to know the person you are speaking to, sharing with, caring about.

Tell me something about you I don’t already know. Such a Lovely Question. The kind of question, if you are lucky, that can take a lifetime to answer. That would be lovely, indeed.

(And now you know something you didn’t before.)
