Crossing paths...
Taken in Summer 08’... late afternoon while lightly raining out all day long… Balmy though.. A handmade arch’d bridge made of thick wood with a babbleing brook underneath is surrounded by extremely lush greenery and is in my line of vision.. Never seems to matter which angle I come from, it never fails to captivate me.. I have been here before, many times and get excited as I approach closer… A unique space…. It is where a close friend of mine that I don’t get to see enough of… stops off at… He thinks about something here… He wonders if thier paths will cross this day.. Sure wish the moon was out.. So it is here… I guess I feel like I somehow connected in spirit and mind with him for only a moment when I pass thru this space, even though we have never shared this space at the same time… Would you consider that odd? lol..
