Touched by my angel friend today, with speechless gifts. A poetry book, "The Fire Was Here" by Anna Enquist and a long beautiful letter, handwritten on ivory paper, the same handwriting that I know so well, even when others don't understand it anymore, every stroke in the smallest detail speaking to me beyond formed words. The same handwriting that shared our oh, so many thoughts and feelings and lenses to a world that was excitingly changing along with us. God made certain people to be in a way that whispers to your heart... God made certain people to breathe the air with the simplicity of being alive, and to be so alive that time cannot contain you fully, that pieces of you fall into eternity. To see a world that sees you back with sunshine, healing rain and endless skies of wonders. My friend has always been and will be... simply because she is. |
