Travelling heartwaves

Illustration Friday is "Travel"

~

it's funny you know.
Travel got me thinking.
in this time of electronica and world connecting, i have friends - dear friends -
that i haven't met yet.
but indelibly, they have touched my heart.
letters and emails cross the globe ~ travelling heartwaves of a palpable connection.

they have each lightened my world, inspired me, shown me new ways of thought, of creativity, of a life well lived and loved.

so on this day, and everyday,
i give thanks to heart waves which travel,
and the connection i share with so many beautiful folk i don't know.

"I Know You By Heart"
(Eva Cassidy does it best)

"We were like children
Laughing (and sharing) for hours
The joy you gave me lives on and on.

‘Cause I know you by heart."

And that's enough. More than enough. To know you by heart.

special love to lisa marie. i'm thinking of you.

Be who you are and say what you feel,
because those who mind don’t matter
and those who matter don’t mind

~ I am really digging this "Found Art"project
where you create bits of art and leave them in random places for people to find...
you can read about one person's experience here.
