there are people who find their way into my heart without delay, complication or games. they have this rare ability to just be themselves and be present with total disregard for time, place or expectation. people with this rare ability seem uncommon, yet i am very fortunate to share this life with many of them. on occasions i forget my good fortune, then i feel disconnected and foreign, and my quest for solitude and words feels futile and vicarious.
when i least expect it, one of those wonderful people pops into my life, and all i can be is to be present to the moment here and now. i am not one to often be at a loss for words, yet, that is exactly the state of my being right now. i am both at a loss of words and bubbling. living out loud and speaking the unspeakable never seemed so immediate: what happened?
