I might be listening???

When I speak with someone, I choose to have eye contact, as I feel, when I do, the meaning of the conversation is much more than listening, we are communicating.

There is a slight problem with that at times......

The "face mole" yep, that dreaded mole on someones face that you cannot ignore, now when its just a small mole and flushed to the face I can surely ignore. However when it is one of those big ones that stick out, it is nearly impossible for me, and what makes it worst, is when there are several.

They can be so big at times, that they take a life of their own and as the person is speaking the mole moves with each facial expression, so it has now become alive, and I am now speaking to a mole on someones face.

All my thoughts are towards the mole, I might be speaking, or even trying to listen, but the mole is what is most important, as it is staring at me trying to get in the conversation, and hence, I allow it to wiggle its way in, I totally succumb to the dreaded face mole. And if there is more than one, we now have a angry crowd and I begin to coward away.

My eye contact with the person is no longer, the communication is gone. I hear this persons voice echoing in my brain, and I see lips moving, but for me the mole is:

Screaming....Yelling.....Shouting....Howling...

"HA, I got your attention"

and it surely did......
