Unfettered
Sometimes your subconscious mind sends you an apt signal in a wonderfully ingenious manner.
Last night I was talking with someone on my cellphone; that is to say, I was trying to have a conversation while the person on the other end kept interrupting it to do other things. While that is always very irritating, I was also in that non-tolerant mood in which this little thing was a sign that I was being taken for granted. I'm not very much of a phone-person and don't talk to people very often. But, please, when YOU call, make sure you are in a position to have a conversation. Or don't call.
In any case, I wasn't having a 'good time' on the call. Given who I was talking to, it is no surprise I was upset. Anyhow, sometime in the conversation, if you could call it that, I closed my eyes for the span of a blink. I swear, nothing longer. And in that moment, I saw myself from the back, walking - and then, suddenly, sprouting a huge pair of wings, and flying away.
What a clear message! I made an excuse and, in a minute, was back into my book.

yes madam... i completely agree with this...
do u remember how TM would talk to us for hours (well she still does), when truthfully all that happens over the phone is silence, simply cuz she is busy calculating,working,etc... it does bug..
but at the end of the day. i know i have loads of patience, and instead of looking for a reason to keep the phone away... just because finally i too want to feel the presence of that particlar person, i do end up making a little conversation,may be also ensure the person talks back....
finally we are completely different personalities...
