Not just any talk is conversation
Not any talk raises consciousness
good conversation has an edge
It opens your eyes to something
It quickens your ears 

And good conversation reverberates
It keeps on talking in your mind later in the day;
The next day, you find yourself still conversing

with what was said
The reverberation afterward is

the very raising of consciousness
Your mind and heart have been moved
Your are at another level with your reflections.
