Downloading imagination, empathy and ice cream.

Pistachio is a good flavor, but the big surprise was cilantro. Quite delicious and refreshing.

Imagination can be put into a training program, after a few laps, bench presses and sprints, it improves.

The greatest leap forward was the ability to really understand, close to the point of experiencing the feeling, totally new as it was to me, that someone else was expressing.

Synchronous actions and cakes.

Actors and their director working well together warm the playwright’s feelings. 

It is like being described fairly when introduced to new acquaintances.

When someone begs you for your recipe to a dish you consider a masterpiece, privately at least, you hope they will do well cooking it – or else eat it on their own.

Occasionally a modern jazz blues symphony can be created that appeals to country and western as well as folk music and death metal fans.

A soothing nail file can be stacked in the shelves of time.

Remembering the narrow streets where wheels turned polishing gems, stones and beads.

We gave them awards by being their customers.

Some were true craftsmen, who tried to teach their apprentices to do the job

When they’re gone, they’re gone, the people in the street market told us.

When it’s true, it’s true.

Magic is real, really.
