Knowing Me Knowing You

Just reading this line 

makes us think about 

Abba’s melancholic 

chart topper, right?

And though this 

particular song’s lyrics 

are about breaking-up,

there’s a greater truth

in these four words.

We can’t actually know 

ourselves well until we

know each other better.

Being + becoming more 

than we are requires 

a conscious awareness;

a friendly familiarity 

with each other.

And this can happen 

in person or virtually,

as long as we communicate 

in order to get to know 

each other better.

When we share our 

experiences, our views, 

our opinions, our feelings

 AND our true selves,

we grow.

Individually + together.

You get to know me,

I get to know you.

How do you get 

to know  people?

And how do people 

get to know you?

I value you + you views,

so let's communicate!
