Sometimes.  When I look around me, I am completely amazed.  To gaze out and find this sky and sea… looking back at me.

The life we are in is full of wonder.

This is an amazing place, this world of ours.  This existence.  The concept that you and I know each other…. out of all the other people on this planet.  How incredibly excellent and considerable is that?

Yes, the fact that we are lucky enough to have met, and become friends.  And no matter where you are right now…. on any part of this planet…. we are connected.  Our feet are touching the same ground,  and we can look to the sky, and see the very same sun, and moon, and stars.

Whether it is by design, or by chance, I can never say for sure.

But it is a profound and brilliant thing… this heart that beats, and brain that thinks, and soul that feels….  to know you, and to share this time, with you… my friend.

Yes.  I am so glad to be right here, right now…. in the very midst of all this connectedness.   While it is far from perfect…. it holds so much for us to learn, to feel, and to experience.

And like it or not….that molecule of air you just drew in, may have been one that I sneezed out a couple of weeks ago.  I’m just sayin’.

But that’s what friends are for.

“No love, no friendship, can cross the path of our destiny without leaving some mark on it forever.”  – Francois Mocuriac
