Human interaction involves seeing more than dollar signs and hands that make xerox copies. Its more than a means to an end. If you and I do this we will accomplish this. Whether it be holy things or unholy things Human Beings are more than a means to an end.
Human interaction is like a pause over an open file cabinent door to laugh about something funny (not bitter). It is the man at the bakery who takes 20 minutes to write on the top of the birthday cake because he wants to get the message right and beautiful so it takes several tries. Human interaction is like surgery. open and bloody. human interaction is like a using the crayons to color in the pictures of a coloring book changing a page from black and white to multicolored. Human interaction makes me feel alive and sometimes i miss it.
One day at work i just needed a hug and though i was with about 70 people i didnt feel like i could just go and ask for a hug for anyone. This made me sad. The situation has since changed as i have pushed through the dollar signs, and filing, and proprieties and made it to human interaction.
peace
good night
love and shalom

I like the surgery comparison. I've been really into God as a surgeon since Urbana. I'm glad other people are embracing how good surgery can be...through all the mess.
=) thanks!
quickwrites must occur more frequently. some days they are the only form of interaction.
