The best in the world that one can hope for is to be understood...or at least intently listened to. I suppose that's why I enjoy the company of my cats so much. I have no idea if they understand me - though I know they know the words "bird" and "eat" - but I have most definitely convinced myself that they hang onto every word I speak. And this self-convincing has ultimately led to my acceptance that they understand me better and more often than most "other people". Any idiot can let fly a random string of words that works for him/her, but this idiot lives for those truly golden moments when my random chains of brilliance are linked together within someone else.
