Strangers

Craigslist interactions: A transaction between you, a stranger, and your 80 year old coffee table.

September: We as strangers entered each others' lives and have since been forming into each others' rocks. 

Like the man standing next to you at the counter while tasting wine: "Any fool can teach until Christmas."

(It's so true.) We shared a good laugh.

Hiking New Years Day: The awkward moment when approaching a hold up in the trail because one of the 5 family members is forfeiting the family picture to take a picture of the remaining 4. You offer to take the photo of the whole gang. Smiles, smiles, smiles. Appreciation is made known and gratitude is shared. "You're so welcome! Happy New Year!"

Such casual yet memorable moments in life that strike a cord with one's sense of humanity; connectedness with strangers and improvisational blips in time where the meditations of one's heart will perform.

And in cloaking love these moments reveal... how much or how little we encompass Love.
