I met a sister today.
I stumbled upon her unexpectedly and will likely never see her again.
We recognised each other though we had never met. We recognised ourselves in each other and a common story.
A story starting in different places, landing us in different places, but with common threads weaved through.
She took my hand as she was leaving. I was thinking ‘there is something special here, she is in the middle of bringing something special into the world’ and she said “I’m inspired. This conversation has inspired me” and she told me where she thought she might step next.
I saw how the light in us had connected.
Only because the dark places that each of us have been to were allowed to see each other and find a match.
