After he wrote this, I was booted from the internet. The words stared at me, bore holes in to my eyes to take up residence. I wondered: How deep am I on a scale of one to ten? I’m not the deepest person I’ve met, but I’m deeper than half the people I’ve met. Seven? Six point five? I sure remember hundreds of times in my life where the depth of the conversation bored me so. Also, I love those little “Surprise, I’m deep!” moments when someone I previously disregarded as shallow proves to be much, much more. I used to have this friend who was so complicated and heavy all the time but was so concerned with the material that is American Life that at times he looked light and filled only with joy.
When the internet connection returned, I asked what I missed, and typed out: “I saw the lovely thing you said about the core of a person.” After I typed it and read it over, I thought: Oops! It’s a bit assumptive for me to add “of a person.” I should explain myself...!
Before I could, he responded:
“well, I wasn't speaking generally. I was talking about you”
