Thoughts and ideas are transient appearances. They get lost too often. […] The deepest connection is probably when we attach thoughts to emotion. Linked with the shared experience the connection will sit tight, even if the tide comes in. Like waves of curiosity rarely fail to persuade us, they uncover an initial energy that can spark things into motion.
