| Posted by Alisa Js on 01/06/09 at 05:36 AM I love this one George and have written a few recently with the exact same premise. How is it that people who are geographically close to each other, who love each other, who are related to each other, who know each other, face to face... oftentimes find themselves in a world where nothing seems to matter, filled with glimpses of phrases that are nothing more than the politically correct pseudo mumbo-jumbo phrase of the day. And yet, these same people are oh, so kind and considerate to others who have no impact on their lives other than perhaps a working relationship of some kind, a professional association of some type....why, oh why? Thank you for writing this thought provoking piece. Aloha... alisa ;-) |

| Posted by Nanette Bellman on 01/10/09 at 12:20 AM it is kind of saddening that we often neglect those who are within our arms reach. you made it beautiful though. bravo George. |
| Posted by Joan Serratelli on 03/04/09 at 04:23 PM In this age of cell phones, emails, etc, nobody seems to talk to each other.If they do, they don't listen. We live in a self absorbed world where communication is a problem. Great write- one to think and TALK about! |
| Posted by Philip F De Pinto on 02/20/13 at 02:23 PM that first stanza is so subtle and so beautifully written, setting the stage for the rest of the thought provoking trip and it is always a delight, George, to be a passenger on your lovely word train. |
