Description
Hello and welcome, I’m Renée Valentina and this is Musing Interruptus. A podcast meant for sharing thoughts, stories, enjoying idiomatic phrases and words in general. You can read along; the transcription is in the description of this episode. The idiomatic expressions are in italics. Try to get the meaning from the context and then look them up to see if you were right. If you like it, share it, but more importantly, continue the conversation. Today, Stay In Touch.
Pain and suffering are related although not necessarily a consequence of one another. Some would express the importance of knowing the difference, precisely to avoid indulging in suffering. But that is not today’s topic. Today is more about the magic in our everyday words. The language includes phrases we repeat to help ward off pain causing situations. Perhaps charged with magical thinking or maybe, just maybe it is magic. You get to be the judge of that.
At the end of a meeting, get together, encounter, workday or work week, we close off by wishing the other, our interlocutor, the person in front of us, or maybe someone we are passing on our way out:
Have a nice day! Hope you have a wonderful weekend! Good night! Have a good one! Good luck! Farewell! All wishes for positive outcomes, charged with hopes of everyting good for the people we are telling them to. As if our words could anticipate their movements and pave their ways with comfort and delightful experiences.
You might want to wish someone safety, on the one hand a reminder to make good decisions on a trip they are taking, it doesn’t have to be far. Drive safe! Safe travels! Have a safe trip! Have a safe flight! Take care! All phrases that intentend to create a bubble of protection around the person you are talking to. A spell cast to repel events and energies that could cause pain, to keep someone safe and out of harm’s way.
Perhaps you were too late, and something happened. Someone forgot to say the right words and the person has taken ill. Now you can wish they recover in the shortest possible time.
Get well soon! A message directed to the mitochondria and the most basic celular levels to perform their functions and heal the person you are saying it to.
Have you ever felt you don’t want a meeting to be the last. You’d like to see the person again. You might say: Don’t be a stranger! Stay in touch! These phrases are like anticipating the invocation you would make in case you don’t see them again. A spell for them to keep you on their mind. Magical words invoking permanence. Or maybe, in some cases we are just saying stay.
Lets face it, the easiest thing to say is bye. It is terminal, cold, lacking everything discussed in these lines. In those terms, it is a careless and unfeeling word to terminate a conversation, encounter or exchange. A clear message. Unless there is a tone…. But that is another Musing Interruptus. Thank you for listening and Peace out!
What are your favorite ways to say goodbye? What are your magic words? Do they work? I’m listening.
