But David, that's the whole point-- I have neither desire nor need to convince you. I do enjoy exchanging what I experience, with others who are sharing what they experience-- but this is seldom what people are willing, or able, to do.

Why is it so frequently assumed that one wishes to persuade another? Don'tcha ever just want to gaze up at the stars and wonder, with a friend? And share, as friends, one another's harvests from wonderment? Where are they who appreciate a little mystery, for the sake of marveling at it?

Must we nail down everything before we can even begin to share what we have?
