I used to be able to articulate myself so well. My tongue could so easily reach back up past my throat, beyond my ears to my brain and let the words spill out with such ease. And if I couldn't do that, I could at least spill them out on a piece of paper. Letting a pen be just another appendage of my body, smoothly flowing and twisting. Making sense of everything.
Body language is a funny thing. It constitutes more than fifty percent of what we're trying to communicate to a person, whether we want to communicate it or not. The last couple days have proven that to me..especially today.
One form of body language that continuously amuses me is the direction of someone's knees, legs, or feet when they're sitting next to you. For example, if you're sitting next to someone and they're knees are pointed toward you, they're leaning in, maybe interested in what you have to say, maybe wanting to get closer to you. When they're pointing away from you, it means just the opposite.
My knees were pointing away today..and I didn't even realize it until after she left.
