How to use "Encounters" in context?
When we think of encounters, typically our mind conjures up images of two people coming into contact with one another. But far beyond the physical, encounters are also a chance for two people to come together and share ideas, thoughts and feelings.
Encounters can be personal, like a conversation with a close friend, or they can be more public and involve people from different parts of our lives. Regardless of the setting, the opportunity for a meaningful encounter is a valuable one, and it can have a profound impact on our lives.
Encounters can be light and happy, or they can be dark and intense.
