  4. ...every 'first' defines the truth in us... the innocence, awkwardness, flaws, the chuckle, fear, everything that def polished in the second coming for it has already been experienced... smiles...

  8. Agree, first instincts generally carry what our hearts see. A smile lives in the awkwardness so expressed; a confirming nod of shared emotion. Nicely written, Rene.
