Not a week goes without someone from my past re -entering my life.Our paths had once been joined but time and circumstances forced us to go seperate ways. Often almost without exception there was no severing of the relationships, and the embers of friendship and love were always there. Reappearing they reminded me of what joy and meaning there was in those times we spent together. I am grateful for the intersections that once again have brought the crossroad friends back into my life. They once influenced who I was and it is an exceptional gift to have them with all of their life experiences to once again share with me their presence and wisdom.
