When I don’t judge others for their outward style, I tend to inform my perception with their actual substance. And strangely enough, they seem to do the same to me. After the static of insecurity, blame, and disdain have faded away to a sufficient degree, I suspect an authentic interaction begins to arise.

We should all be blind to the human masks. Dickens had a riff on this. If we were to try to feel our way in the dark without the visage of countenances what depths might be discovered.

This is a common theme between us all, I believe! Cool way to word it.

Wise words indeed.
Maybe more conversations should start with
‘Hi there. How you doing?’
With the response.
‘Oh. Y’know,’

Carrie Fisher aka Princess Leia said something to the effect of Don’t judge me by my brain bag. I’m capable of highly intelligent conversation. But my brain is locked in a body that falls, gets concussed, and struggles for words. (It’s a whole condition between my eyes, inner ear, and an epic grudge match between me and Gravity.)

Love that! I’m a fan of her. Never knew about her personal struggles until I was older.

Not saying this to show off but her father and my father were buds back in the day. I kick myself for not buying a picture session with her too talk to her instead of saying “I’ll just run into her and we’ll talk.”. She was like a promised friend. “Hopey, I’m going to take you out to Hollywood to see your Uncle Eddie and meet his daughter Carrie. You two will be great friends.” My father would say.
I won’t feel in the past. But I will write a book. š
Thank you, this post had been cathartic.

Not showing off at all! That’s so cool! She always had a ton of composure and presence in Star Wars. I feel like she was one of those old-soul types!
