Unsettling ...

"The truth is that each living spirit we encounter 

is a depth to gently swim in, a miracle 

that can quench our thirst."

Mark Nepo

Kindred spirits pass through our lives bringing opportunity for new insight or experience.  It is not a matter of agreeing or disagreeing, but the opportunity to reenforce what we believe or to choose to change.  The exchange between us definitely is not limited by words or actions as often times just being in the  presence of a person's energy can impact our being.

Indeed, we have spent years within the bonds of 'sisters of the heart',  but there are incidents where an individual simply passes through our life, but for unknown reasons, we remember them forever. It is as though we were messengers silently sharing a piece of spirit, aware only subconsciously.

When a person moves away from his or her circle of friends, whether deliberately or changed by life, we promise to stay in touch, but we are unsuspecting of the mourning that follows. We miss the gatherings of friends, the private communications, the impromptu larks, and the touch of a trusted hand or a smothering hug.  It can be unsettling to not be in the presence of the lights who once made our lives so radiant.
