Refreshing Spirits
On Saturday met Sarah. She’s travelling across Asia. Great woman. At 21 she’s mustered courage and began her travels. We went to dinner with a few other friends Saturday night and had a chance to spend the majority of the day together yesterday.
We had a chance to share our experiences travelling and some of the things truly unique to a solitary exploration. Some of the insights and feelings, I thought unique, she had experienced also. It was refreshing, sharing time with a kindred.
Today, Monday, October 28, 2019, I am grateful that:
Sarah and I had an opportunity to initiate and develop our relationship. She’s a kindred spirit and I’m glad we invested some time in each other.
She’s a vegan. I’ve known for months, if not longer, I needed to change my dietary intake. Heck, I even brought my juicer from the states here to the Philippines. However, only juicing leaving some part of my belly unsatisfied. I feel as if I need to chew on something. Sarah took a bit of time yesterday, as we were hanging out and without effort, showed me what she eats. I watched her as she bought groceries and was able to identify a few things I wouldn’t have known otherwise. A few hours with her yesterday definitely flattened my “learning curve.”
I had the opportunity to go hear Bruce’s band play last night. Great guy. Great musician. It’s interested because Bruce is an introvert, yet when playing guitar he’s the opposite. He’s uninhibited and thorough content being on display for all to see his genius. It’s interesting cause I’ve thought for several years that we all chisel away at the block of stone we were born as. Once we’ve removed what’s not needed and polished the beautiful statue, it’s time to play our statue(ourselves and our genius) on display for all to see. Last night, I was able to witness the genius in Bruce and his guitar play. The manifestation of thousands of hours of practice condensed into two sets of music. He and his band play and displayed themselves for all near to witness. At some point, as my writing becomes more polished and prolific, I’ll be happy with others admiring the artwork of my writing as I was admiring the artwork of Bruce and his fingers upon the strings of his guitar last night.
Befriend A Kindred Spirit. Be Impactful!
