She was like the Galapagos
Recently I met a woman that was so pure and intuitive and bright and exhubburent that I thought of the old metephor that she was "like the Galapagos Islands"
It was a pleasure just to have a quick conversation with her and a couple of words. Now sometimes I over simplyfy these moments as to mean, wow she was perfect, an uncut diamond, a cloud of fire, a young hepburn, a wild young mare.
However she was just a lovely person, that would light up the world with one smile, one nanosecond at a smile.
Their have been alot of people that have performed this function for me in the past.
It's still always so mesmerizing and life empowering to feel it.
On the flip side of that coin, I took a homeless man into my home the other day, he hadn't slept in a bed in over a month. I did it because it felt right.
As we talked about life, I saw the opposite.
A warm spirit that had been beaten down so much that it broke my heart. Not because I am so perfect, it just broke my heart. I gave him a coat.
So many bumps and twists in the road that can shift your thinking, your big life goals and your spirit.
Either way, they were both human and were trying.
I was lucky to meet them both.
