New friends. New
beginnings. Do you realize that each
person who comes into your life is a gift?
There are no coincidences. Why
did you meet that person? What do they
have to teach you, and you them? Even a
passing stranger comes bearing gifts if you will open your eyes. But no, you avert your eyes and you miss the
gift of connection. Gifts are all around
you in the form of people, animals, flowers, trees, mountains. Need we go on? You are connected to all that is, but it is
your fellow human travelers who offer you the greatest gifts. Do not let them pass by without
acknowledgment. Look them in the eyes
and send them a silent greeting or one voiced aloud. It matters not to the soul. Within there is always recognition. Bring that recognition to the surface and the
connections will astound you.
