Plainspoken

It was refreshing to be with someone today that I'm not with usually. The conversation was at points routine but at many points the conversation was very unusual. The conversant was just simple, honest, plainspoken. He was not out to impress, nor was I. Every word could be taken at face value. I didn't detect any agendas, any seed planting, any game playing. It's been a while since I have had a conversation like that. It was pleasant. Most days I have to have my language radar machine on and it beeps constantly. So I rest more easily tonight with thoughts of an honest conversation for once.
