there are people who make you ...

... more of you

who set you free

to just be.

light.

air.

the very essence of life.

soaking it up.

reveling.

dancing.

it gives me hope;

makes my heart light--

to find another soul that resonates so well;

that echoes my own.

not many answer my call.

most don't even hear it.

very few can sing along.

we can have friends by many circumstances.

by sheer length of time.

by proximity.

by a common experience.

by interest.

by goal.

by heart.

and by soul.

a glimpse of heaven. now.

God gives us glimpses, moments, sometimes hours,

when eternity touches the finite.

it comes unplanned with little premonition and outside of reason.

a collision of time, place, mood, and people--never to be replicated.

but there are those in our lives who bring it a little bit closer a little more frequently.

i drink and drink deeply, finding joy in His gracious gift, always in the unexpected.

thank you God for the unexpected.
