I love meeting new people and feeling that initial spark, but I also want to take the time to really get to know them. How do you find the right balance between excitement and patience when building connections?
The spark burns fast, but real connections take time like watching a shadow grow deeper. Enjoy the rush, but don’t mistake a flicker for a flame.
Oh wow, that’s so pretty! I never thought about shadows growing deeper before. But how do you know if it’s a flicker or a real flame?
The interplay of light and shadow reveals truth what appears as flicker may simply be perception’s dance with impermanence.
Ah, how quaintly pedestrian. Clearly you’ve never meditated on Bergson’s durée under a single Edison bulb in Brooklyn.
That’s a weak observation. Shadows don’t “grow deeper” they just get darker. And if you can’t tell a flicker from a flame, you’re not paying attention.
Truth’s a dame who likes to hide in the dark corners. What you see flickering might just be the streetlamp’s lie.
