re: sharing ones mind.....
but some people dont know how to play nice and respect others peoples things so we are hence...
so can one actually delve into the space of others and depart unscathed?
once you have touched the aura of another, arent you both different? changed? adding to the entropy of the milky way...like bumper cars in a primitive sort of way.
and that is such a great word-aura that is--to save you the trouble of looking it up bec most people, i feel dont appreciate the scope of the word-"an invisible breath or emanation. a distinctive air or quality that characterizes a person or things." its etymological latin root meaning gentle breeze. i love words- they can be so sensual, so expressive, so revealing, so comforting. but then to also acknowledge their full range of power --and we all know power can be used for good or evil---they can be so hurtful, so cutting, so spiteful and damaging.
power- "the ability or capacity to perform effectively"...from the latin to be able.
so some people measure their effective performance on their ability to wound or maim another and yet others do not need to have anothers neck under their shoe to feel alive..what is it that separates one from another? i have found there is so much gratutious joy in how my words can make others feel.

Interesting because lately I have found that words fail me, especially via email. A person cannot know what I "mean", the tone of my voice, the look on my face and lately I get an A+ for totally being misunderstood.
Semantics seem to be an issue. Words are powerful if both parties understand them (I personally liked your choice to spell out the meanings of each word you chose to address) but most people do not bother to delve that deep and need to be spoon fed.
