A dark room in a tall brick building of one of those megatowns,  the moon is out, and a pale blue light is coming in through the windows, a man and a woman facing each other, standing in the middle of the room, the woman's cheeks bring the corner of her eyes down, she's saddened by something, the man is lips closed, emotionless, impenetrable.
She says slowly :

"Could you take me in your arms?", and maybe she trembles.

"Yes!" he replies, but he doesn't move, and stays unperturbed.

After a little surprised look, she's thinking about what she said, and realizes how his mind functions, he considered the question literally, in absolute, and yes he has arms and so yes, if ever, he would be able to embrace her, so she reformulates :

"Take me in your arms."



Most of humanity is so lost in projections and mental images that we interpret everything and everyone we see (and feel), and so we communicate as to be interpreted, wouldn't it be much easier to speak clearly what we mean, what we want, the mind functions with concepts, and concepts are what put a blur on the truth, on reality, it is said that "understanding" (as in processing objects, people and situations) has few to do with the truth. Probably to see clearly, and be real, we have to stop thinking ahead, away, trust ourselves and the moment, accept it, see the world with a new eye, and say it.
(But i agree, when aware, it's fun to play together with the different degrees)
