(Although I don't really talk that much. I'm pretty quiet and generally speak only what is necessary. I just make up for that silence when I write.) On the point you make about patience, though, I do agree. It always annoys me when people get up and leave early from a performance. Perhaps they want to get ahead of the traffic when the crowd makes its exit, but still it makes me wonder why they bothered to come at all.

Although I feel the story has not finished.. It is for sure the limit of the words.. I have learnt to say everything I want with just a few words, because living with ... lawyers for so many years, has made me go straight to the ... POINT!! They do not have ... patience to listen to the whole story!! Sometimes I feel so frustrated!!! ;] To be a good .. listener is a talent that very few people possess! To be able to sit and let your attention focused on a film, a book, a Sonata from the first note to the last, including the ... pauses too! LOVE, Thelma. p.s. Thank you Paul for teaching us 'what cameo role' is.. Annie has explained it to me, because I was wondering... T.xx Thank you Savita, vividly expressed.. Although I feel the story has not finished.. It is for sure the limit of the words..

More of a "past life." There is more to the story, and I've tried to write the whole of it several times as a short story, but it just never seemed to work. I love Paulo's limit of 250 words - it really forces me to think about what is essential. I've never been very good at being concise, and it is great practice. Thank you, candieb! Savita Not a dream.
