March 23

This is a preamble to my latest poetic addition.

I find myself pondering my life...the direction that I have chosen to take. It seems, as of late, that there are many kindred souls that are in my midst. I feel fortunate to have met these companions on my journey of life. Each one different, but yet completing me in some way. They hold a piece of my puzzle. At this point, let me share with you a quote from Rabbi Lawrence Kushner.

"Everyone carries with them at least one and probably many pieces to someone else's puzzle. Sometimes they know it. Sometimes they don't. And when you present your piece...to another, whether you know it or not, whether they know it or not, you are a messenger from the Most High."

I know many have presented pieces to me, sometimes I have chosen to turn them away and other times I embrace them. That is my free will in action... and it is not always in my best interest either. But yet, I choose. I wrote a blog in October of last year that spoke about Fate and Destiny...it was a very "radical" way of thinking. A result of being questioned, by a friend, on my beliefs in that area. I now think on a similar but different path...(Oh James, I can imagine your head shaking now. lol) Isn't that free will? The ability to change, at will, where you shall go? Or was that Fate to being with? Or was it Destiny? I shall not go there again in this blog but it is something to think about... Which brings me to my thoughts today...there are those that come into your life and you seem to have known them for an eternity...Each other answering a thought before the question is even posed. A connection that surpasses any explanation

whatsoever....Kindred...I do not know how else to explain it... I welcome any thoughts in this realm, as I am at a loss for an explanation. I dedicate this poem to my Kindred Souls...and you know who you are.....

Kindred Companion

From whence you came

I do not know.

It seems I have known you all of my life.

That you have been with me forever.

We connect at a level

that the mind cannot comprehend.

Darkness is no more.

For we travel the same path

each other’s flame lighting the way.

Take my hand

and walk with me.

It is the journey of kindred companions.

Sharing thoughts and hearts

we find new meaning to life.

Our journey has begun

or maybe it is just continuing.

The road does not end

it is infinite my kindred companion.

We shall be and have been connected

always and forevermore.

I wish everyone enough.

Lainey

	Poopdeck wrote: I love your sign off. But, can anyone truly have enough Lainey? More to the point, I too have a kindred heart. A truly amazing and touching piece of poetry for those who are capable of understanding the connection, both emotional and intellectual, that is a constant in the souls of kindreds. Well stated!!
