To Strangers

Lately, I have had more profound experiences with complete strangers than with the people I have known or loved for many years, or even my whole life. These few people I have "met" have somehow healed me, touched me, encouraged me, inspired me, or have revealed some truth to me about myself or my life that has either been too painful for me to face on my own accord, or that I have been too blinded by myself to see. I have either been cheered up or made to confront these truths that I have been avoiding so well for so long. I have literally been brought to tears by the honesty, kindness, or validity of the few words I have exchanged with these people. And I guess it makes it that much more magical and incredible that we shall remain strangers, though I will never forget those souls.

So thank you, to the man at Whole Foods San Rafael for beauty, to the man at Dancing Moon for healing, and to the man on the way out the door for inspiration and confidence.

I may never meet you, but you have moved me, and I am forever grateful.

Your friend.
