Initiating Conversation

Twelve people sit outside, crickets and toads filling the evening air. Nervous but curious, I turn to my friend and ask a simple question, sparking laughter and conversation. For the first time, I initiate a dialogue in a large group, experiencing the joy of connection, shared voices, and the subtle magic of human bonding.
