On the surface you can only see so muchYou can look into someones eyes
Feel their arms as they wrap them around you
Listen to their laughter
And smile with them
But deeper than that lives so much more
Passions
Dreams
Desire
The things that make them smile inside
Fill their lives with joy
The things they do not share with just anyone
But if you wait long enough
If you are patient
Kind and caring
They may just surprise you
And open up
You may find out about their love for reading
Their joy of being on stage
Or their desire to move back "home"
You may see a side of them you never knew was their
The one they keep safely concealed
Until they know you
Until they trust you
Your heart opens up a little bit more for them
You see a side of them you never knew was their
And feel privileged to witness it
Because of who you are
They felt comfortable enough to just be themselves
And that is a piece of what makes this life so beautiful
The connection that two people make
The moment when two souls share pieces of themselves with each other

i want to send you email in regards to this post....
Lovely, lovely words and so right on, dear Jennifer. Why is it that we spend so much of our lives, not ever getting to this level with those that are around us? As I get older, I have less patience with staying always at the surface small-talk level. I find it boring and don't want to hang around those that can't seem to dig any deeper. It is such a treat to visit your blog and read your beautiful words!!
i am coming back to read again....i can completely relate to patty and what she wrote. i find myself wanting more and more to connect on a deeper level and dig beyond that surface....i see it becoming difficult with some of my friends i have had for a very long time...?? makes me sad a little.
love you sweets

@kolleen: i have that problem too .. i don't know what it is or how to change it .. but i wish i could.
I love this photo. It feels like spring. And I love this post. It is so wonderful when someone shares like this - I feel so honored.
So loving this one... and the one entitled "You". Wise words, friend, and right back at *you*.
