Not just any talk...

Not just any talk is conversation

Not any talk raises consciousness

good conversation has an edge

It opens your eyes to something

It quickens your ears

And good conversation reverberates

It keeps on talking in your mind later in the day;

The next day, you find yourself still conversing with what was said

The reverberation afterward is the very raising of consciousness

Your mind and heart have been moved

Your are at another level with your reflections.
