Bare moment

I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant

~Robert McCloskey

Is it possible to reveal to much?

But what frustrates me is that sometimes I feel sorely misunderstood. I hate that because I don't really have the time or even the patience to explain what I mean in the truest sense.

I don't think they want to hear anyway, because it sends a thrill down the spine whenever we believe that we understand something, more so than the person in question.

Haih...

I don't know. But to be laid bare, in front of stranger's eyes, stripped from your defenses: all that I can muster is clammed up silence.

In my head I prayed: let this moment pass.

And it passed. May it be left in that moment, without another mention.
