Dumb-strucked*

                                                    We've all been on "first meetings" with those that have piqued our interest and generated a desire for more contact and  more understanding .   We begin with the easiest of questions, 'where are you from, where did you attend school, what do you do for a living', and various and other sundry queries .   There have been times when the only answer has been "I don't know" , or, "I haven't given it any thought" .   "I don't know" is like the 5th Amendment,  "I can't answer on the grounds that it may incriminate me".   Here it is where you get "Struck by DUMB".  I have asked the  most simple questions, all the way from "What is your favorite sandwich" to "Do you believe in the existence of Other World Space Beings?" only to get the most exasperation-al responses entered above .   It's amusing at first, but in Reality exposes a Mind that is NOT tuned to "The Infinite" nor even to OBVIOUS day-to-day personal trivia .   Here it is where things can "go South" in a manner of seconds , EVEN IF, the person your interested in is  "DROP DEAD" GORGEOUS .   

                             Lao Tzu informs us best, "In quality of Mind, it is DEPTH that matters ."
