As it is late 'o clock pm, and there is, alas, so much more to do tonight, verbosity be-eth banished! Concise reflections on interactions:
Swimming: The therapeutic value of a good swim work out is undeniable. The pat on the back for a job well done, the feel of the surrounding water, the freedom from the weightier world, the smell of the pool (or the beach, or the lake), the list could go on forever. It is a kind of moving meditation, one in which the whole being is lighter afterwards with a refreshed mind, body and spirit. That is one thing I doubt can be captured in a computer game. The extreme physicality of it, in addition to the tangibility of the elements-- the water all around, the air above on the face when breathing, the smells -- definitely makes it a real world interaction.
Swing or Salsa or any partner dancing: Dancing is absolute joy. The game of "follow the leader" is not too far removed from partner dancing, but with a great twist. Each party agrees to try and figure each other out for the sheer fun of it, and all set to music. What could be better? Again, this is a physical game, but a social one, too. Each person has a different manner, different way of moving, expressing, enjoying. Also, there is something primal about dancing and moving to music. It is a shame that not everyone feels a freedom to just dance. Of course, that sentiment can be applied to anything...like drawing. ; ) I can draw. I can. I can. I can!!!
EATING CHOCOLATE!!! Ok. So the truth of it is, I really like chocolate, any variety, from the darkest darks to the milkiest milks. YUM! It smells good. It melts just right in your mouth. It soothes the soul from the moment it hits your tongue, magically melting to fill the whole head with yumminess. It is a treat to be slowly savored, best enjoyed at the end of the day when everything is quiet and you can just focus on its perfection...unless you get a dark that someone sugared up too much. ugh! darks should be bitter, in the best possible way, naturally.
