Thirteen lightbulbs on each strand...6 strands...so 78 lightbulbs on the ceiling.

They look like they are having fun. Her smile is HUGE. He is enjoying every note of this song.

Wow! Her hand looks super elegant...Is that weird? I'm pretty sure most people don't think about the way people's hands look. Yeah, I'm being weird and I really need to stop staring at her hand.

Oooo, cool shoes! I don't know what brands of shoes are considered cool... I don't really care though.

What if Dumbo is not pronounced Dum-Boe but is actually pronounced Dum-Oh...
What if we are the Dumbos.

Verus> "Cantor are you okay?"

Cantor> "Huh? Oh, sorry just not really focused right now. Been tired and had a lot to think about lately."

Verus> "You know that I'm here if you need anything right?"

Cantor> "Yeah, thank you. It's just... This is kinda one of those things I gotta deal with myself."

Verus> "Okay, if you change your mind, let me know."

Cantor> "Thank you! You are a huge blessing."

Verus smiled and walked back to her initial conversation.

Distractions are a strange thing. Because distractions aren't the same for every person. Take this situation I was distracted by...well... Everything when my conversations with Verus was intended to be the point of my focus. Verus on the other hand was distracted by my spacing out from her first conversation.

For me our conversation was a total point of that part in time. For her it was a distraction.

Why are you telling all of us this? We get the point...or...what point are you trying to make?

In the ?#ñ%@) dimension moments like these can become something that is a big part of someone elses world, while the other person who shared that moment with them may hardly remember it at all.

Studies have shown that males tend to experience higher levels of emotion on interactions like this than females. Men will tend to treasure moments like these because they are not what they are typically used to experiencing. To me this carried weight, I'm not wanting you to think this was a romantic gesture or that I took it as such. It was merely sincere and, I feel that is becoming less common each day.

This did make an impact on my ?#ñ%@). Looking at it though. The physical appearance that this marked in my ?#ñ%@) dimension was just a small cluster of 78 lightbulbs. A distraction that I associate with the conversation. So I guess I have another distraction. Every time I see Verus, I see 78 lightbulbs.
