Inspired by a Stranger (who became my friend)

Inspired by a Stranger (who became my friend)

I found inspiration in someone’s thoughts

and felt compelled to read

and think... and write...

a stranger whose words

mesmerized me

with thoughts that were powerful

and wise

punctuated with deep emotion

and an honesty born

from living life

and experiencing

as much as one can of life

of tasting

as much as one can of life...

this stranger wrote with

a simple complexity

bare faced honesty

a richness of spirit

a wry good humor...

I went back time and again

to read the stranger’s words

hoping each time for a new post

but content to re-read

the already read over again...

like I once read McKuen

and Rinder in my youthful

woman days...

over and over...

I found myself quietly thrilled

when I found the stranger

had something new

to plunge my thoughts into...

deeper... and deeper...

the strangers’ words

touched me ... moved me...

fed my soul...

helped me see more clearly

and filled me with a desire

to experience life more....
