A friend came by today to walk with me over to the Earth Day celebration down on the bayou. A friend I rarely see but think of often. We moseyed around and looked at all the booths, trying on funky hats, getting an ice cold Bud Light and Woody’s fish tacos and then sitting on the cool grass by the bayou and enjoying the perfect spring weather. <\/p>\n
It’s interesting to me how easy it is to connect with some people even while they are not in your daily life – moments sitting on the grass together talking about this and that seemed eternal, no beginnings, no ends, lots of in-betweens already filled in by the miles each of you have traversed. <\/p>\n
It’s these compact friends – ones that don’t require a lot of time and space – who bring a lot of warmth and connection into my life that makes me grateful today. <\/p>\n
