		tern on Dec 28, 2013 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Saving the Lost Art of Conversation I find that "interesting" and "artful", while not quite orthogonal, are not exactly the same thing. There are many people with which I can have an intellectually stimulating conversation, but really feeling cared for, appreciated, seen is rare.

"Ships that pass in the night, and speak each other in passing,

Only a signal shown and a distant voice in the darkness;

So on the ocean of life, we pass and speak one another,

Only a look and a voice, then darkness again and a silence."

- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, 1863
