He waves back! (He loves waving lol) Meeting would be great! I find there are people who fear meeting those they already know online, maybe because it's alot harder to be authentic face to face. I for one get very restless when I'm around people and often talk more than I should or laugh for no particular reason.
About the deep question: It's hard not to expect something from people. I have a mental image of you as a tall, dark haired - light skin woman with subtle manners and a very good posture, maybe blue eyes? I don't know why! This is just how I see the person who writes your words.
Have you read about circles of women? There is a book/essay called The millionth Circle by Dr. Shinoda Bolen that speaks about evolution of women through circles of shared knowledge.
I understand you are a therapist? I feel that's a hard job unless you are strong in mind and very patient.
:-) Big smile.
Yes, the image of someone we haven't seen yet and only got to know through text and comments is nevertheless forming itself.
I see you as a blond which I regard to the fact that your name "blankcanvas" produces a light color in my imagination. For the rest I have no particular images in mind other than that you yourself are a polite and sensitive elegant character and deeply caring for children. ... Only a little flash of your fingers which I think are small and artistic ...?
I myself am not tall and my hair got dark from former middle blond and now brown with a lot of grey streaks. I was always slim but now nearing my fifties I gained weight (for no reason:).
I haven't heard of the circle of women but I know what you mean:)
No, I am not a therapist but a social worker and systemic consultant. LOL! Patience, yes, that indeed is required. I think I picked my work also for my development and the continuity to deal with people holds me into balance and not getting afraid of them.
What is your profession?
I graduated as a lawyer, but I was very upset at how the practice of law is in my country (Venezuela). Soon after graduation I took the Translation Test at the Ministry and became an official translator and interpreter, which is what I've been doing since my son was born, and as it turns out it's the best idea I've ever had! I get to spend all day with my son and be able to work at the same time.
My fingers are really very small lol hahaha
Big hug :)
