The powerful feelings experienced when we get to interact with people in our community after having been virtually isolated for a couple of years. We had a great conversation with a couple of neighbors yesterday. Nice gentle folks, one a city engineer that grew up with our sons. The other his father, the Vietnam vet. We don't see eye to eye on a lot of things, but the core of what we talked about was that we need to be talking to each other.
This reminds me of matchstick men the movie about a con man who realizes he has a daughter. It wasn't the greatest movie but the ending stuck with me. When Nich Cage's protege breaks down how once a person is reliant for you as their interface to the world they are at your mercy. And then you realize how much Nick Cage's character was isolated because of his neurosis.
