and offer what I know as an option,
just as I would present a tray of appetizers for my guests.
Here are several choices that I have created -
if one looks good you are welcome to take it.
In other words, I am training myself to say,
"May I tell you how it is for me?"

for the invitation to share.
It also means being prepared for my friend to say,
"No." They don't want to know.

we would choose never to see that person again
if we believed that distance would bring them greater happiness.
