You get a special feeling, and it gets stronger with every word she says. She won’t ever know you, she’s a famous poet, and you’re just a normal girl, it’s not possible. But remember, great minds think alike! And that’s how you feel. You soak in every word of her’s, because you can share them as your own too. Her insights are as yours, in a different way. Her voice is like amazing, being able to change from a hooking melody to sassiness, or sarcasm. And that feeling tugs at you again. The feeling which is inspiring, and – and it’s a sort of bond that forms. Words that link you to another person across the world, because she loves them just as you do. Her words become music to you, because more than anything you can relate to them. You can relate to the understandings, since you, most of all, understand. And it’s such a wonderful thing!! And that’s exactly what she’s talking about right then. Relating and understanding. Finding a mind like your’s. Similarities.
Great happiness bubbles in you, for you’ve found a different type of artist, who you can relate to. The bond gets stronger and stronger. She doesn’t know you, but she doesn’t need to! You know her, and that’s enough!
You smile and hear her words over and over and over. You take in every minute you can. And you’re delighted, simply because you connected.
WOW! Very well said Priya! You are so right about how inspirational Sarah Kay is through her talk. All the best.
ReplyDeleteSo many ways to communicate these days - so many ways to keep in touch - and sometimes its all just so much noise - hurriedly "touching base". I wanted to hear the Sarah Kay talk in peace and quiet before I read your thoughts - and finally had a chance to today. Sometimes amidst all the noise of communication - its nice to take a few moments to just listen quietly - and connect. Well written as always!
