I am certain I was meant to meet many people. Fleeting moments in my little life that leave me with so much. Perhaps life is less about knowing many people well and more about learning a lot from strangers and delighting in others stories. Maybe they will always haunt you but your life wouldn't ever be the same if it weren't that way. I've had the privilege of meeting many colourful people. And I've also had very dark people come into my life and teach me about reality.
It's all so beautiful.
We get to play a part and we are all connected in some way.
Seek the glorious experience of being entwined with someone else's struggle or joy. Not to gain anything except the present moment.
