Today I am thinking about how amazing it is that someone who has never spent real time with you, does not know anything about you or has just met you by chance can actually make a bigger impression on you than your regular friends.
What is the real definition of a friend? To me it is someone, a fellow earth traveler living their life, that greatly makes an impact in your life. These encounters are sometimes small, brief and fleeting. Sometime they last years.
Just recently, at the Kripalu Center in Boston, I was involved in a wellness program. It was so amazing to me that we had the obvious in common, the program, but I soon found out that I had a thing in common with each person there. I met fellow scuba divers, pug owners, knitters, artists and spiritual seeker that were on a same path in some regard. Yoga teaches us that we are all one, all sisters and brothers and that the universe is an amazing place where these encounters happen.
Just recently, while posting my Wishcasting Wednesday posts, I have found so many people commenting and offering nice words. I too consider these beautiful people friends.
I feel that we are all on the same journey and that our threads often cross. When they do it is magical!
