Conversations

13.30 | To Isaiah, if you ever read these...

I had the pleasure of running into Isaiah's mom awhile back. We got to talking about how I transferred schools and how I am liking it so far. I told her how I can't wait for winter and about all the good things that have come as a result of switching schools. She had the quote of the night:

"You don't really know what you have until it's gone."

It's true. I went down to Texas for a couple months. I missed the snow, the winter, the people, the culture. I never realized how blessed I was until it was gone even though I learned great life lessons in Texas and miss it every so often.

Conversations are an amazing instrument of power. Words are shared that provoke feelings and stories. They go back to remember the past and look ahead towards the future. You can talk about people that have passed away, that live in Mississippi or are standing right next to you. I don't think location matters. I talked to Isaiah's mom on the curb of a parking lot outside a restaurant and I just talked to my friend at a church.

A conversation can transform people.
