Over the years I've come to discover that there are people I connect with much better than I connect with others. For instance, I like an ability in my friends to provide meaningful thinking. The thinking may not always be practical, but it's smart and I find it worth listening to, or reading. I also find myself attracted to people who think outside the box, who can take a thought and sort of turn it around and examine more than simply one side of it.
They look at other sides that perhaps most of us don't bother to even think of as being possible. They show me, and others who talk with, sit with, and write with them, that maybe not everything is as nice and tidy as a professor in Econ 101 might leave one thinking it is. I woke up today and found a note, it was innocuous, but made me smile. And now it's making me think.
