New Friends

I have met some new and interesting people of late. Well, they aren't really new people, just new to me, of course...

Some friends of my dear, sweet friend, Vicky's, who I felt an immediate connection to. And another new friend, and neighbor, who I met through Morgan's activities. It is wonderful to meet someone and feel that deep-seated emotional understanding of one another ~ an understanding that transcends time and space, as if the souls are speaking to each other and in closer contact and communication than words could ever provide.

It reminds me of Allison Krauss' song...

It's amazing how you can speak right to my heart
Without saying a word you can light up the dark
Try as I may I could never explain
What I hear when you don't say a thing

The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes sayin' you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall
You say it best when you say nothing at all

All day long I can hear people talking out loud
But when you hold me near, you drown out the crowd
Old Mr. Webster could never define
What's being said between your heart and mine

The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes sayin' you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall
You say it best when you say nothing at all

The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes sayin' you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall
You say it best when you say nothing at all

After all, isn't that what friends are for? Aren't they the family we choose for ourselves?

I don't know where I would be in this life without friends like Vicky, and Jen, and Jutta, and Frank, and Thomas, and Jean, and Peter, and Carol, and Pam, and another Carol, and Tom, and Marilynn... I am truly blessed with loving and caring friends, whom I adore.
