Behind Their Backs.

A couple of years ago

something funny kept happening to me.

All the time,

people would say,

"I heard you have

a great blog,"

or,
"Someone was saying 

nice things about you."

And I'd say,

"Who?"

And they'd say,

"Oh, I don't remember."

Like, often.

Someone was spreading

nice rumors about me,

and I never figured out who it was.

I could tell you about other times

when someone told me

something unbelievably nice

that someone else had said about me.

Every time I was thrilled

and speechless

and couldn't quite believe it.

That person really

said that about me?

I can only imagine

that this happens all the time,

not just to me.

It makes me want to say

nice things about people

behind their backs.

And to their faces.
