A Simple Hello

Sometimes a simple hello

and an easy conversation

with someone I haven’t heard from in a while

is all it takes to make me smile.


A small reminder

that he thinks of me,

that he misses me,

that our soul connection hasn’t come undone.


So I smile,

let a memory or two wash over me,

and then keep moving through my day.


Rooted in the truth that my life is rich with people

who see me,

appreciate me,

and choose me.

Everyday.


And it is full of beautiful possibility.
