i cannot overstate how hot direct communication is.

Just, going to someone "Hey, I want you to brainwash me until all I know is you, until there is nothing inside my mind except what you encourage, and then use me, please."

Do you feed me? Brush me? Soothe me? Am I safe?

I wonder, as I feel myself dissolve into sadness. I have to sit down, and I try to remind myself: talking is only one way of relating, and perhaps we rely too heavily on it, forgetting that we can also connect through gestures, sounds, glances. I think about the nonverbal and preverbal entities in our lives: animals, newborns. They don’t want our explanations of love; they want to see it in action. Do you feed me? Brush me? Soothe me? Am I safe?
