Amazing

What's amazing you ask? Well Posh is for one. I learn something new and fantastic about her every day.

But the main inspiration for this post is my amazement over how things that are supposed to assist is helping you along your journey can be used as tools for your destruction. And in this instance I am specifically referring to the cellular telephone.

Some silly woman came to our alma mater for a week of seminars related to romance. She was full of antiquated notions about proper relations between men and women and was mostly full of crap. But one thing I did take from her was the importance of communication. You lose so much when you take out seeing someone. Little cues that could help interpret people's statements are lost when you can't see them, leading to caveat #1 with the cell phone. Though it is there to help you communicate, it doesn't always let you do it in the most effective manner.

Furthermore, when you take out hearing the sound of a person's voice, you lose little intonations that help you interpret as well. So the text message from that same cellular phone can be a God-send or a hell raiser all depending on a number of factors you may not be in control of.

Last night, it led me and Posh to a really intense discussion. One I was hoping to avoid like dust bunnies under the carpet. But it needed to be addressed and I know that we will be stronger for it. But it's all just well...amazing.
