These moments are wonderful, aren't they...times when we meet another, just for a moment, and then they are gone. Yes, I think you are right about the busy-ness factor. I know when I am present to the moment at hand I am able to connect with others more easily. I also think it has something to do with desire, the desire to connect and be vulnerable. Many times the connection can be just a shared glance or a smile of appreciation. I am aware of how much people want this connection, especially women. When I look at another woman with openness and curiosity, and not the sizing up that sometimes can happen when one is feeling self-conscious or in the not-enoughness place, I also consciously feel the feeling that I know she is amazing simply because of who and what she is. And people feel that. They feel me feeling the amazingness of who and what they are. I think that is where deep, meaningful connection happens...when we see in each other the beauty that we are deep within. What a lucky woman she is, the one from Scotland. To meet you, even for a moment, is a gift. I know because I know you. Love, Julie Barbara,

I have found it amazing when I connect with a stranger, even in a small quiet way. Why doesn't it happen more? It seems that the magic often occurs when we are out of our routine and somehow more open to the world at large, as you were on your precious time away. Yesterday my mother and i met a woman from Scotland who was travelling alone. Our encounter was not a revelation in content, but such a lovely connection. How reinforcing to experience that little rush of delight in having seen someone, even briefly. I want more of that in my life and I am going to try to allow it to happen, to take the time, to make the tiny effort. Thank you Julie for sharing your experiences and so encouraging mine!
