delightful moment

friends are wonder-filled gifts
each one special
each one to be treasured
each to be valued and honored and respected and heard

there are some friends who are a pure delight to be with
no matter how many moments have passed
there is always such pure joy

in the coming together

sitting across the table
seeing the eyes

listening to the words
of the present moment

the hearing of another's heart
is such a tender privilege

there is a fragility in the moment that is a little scary

I have been deeply blessed this day
to have been with such a friend

the wonder of being entrusted

with such a one

is a bit overwhelming

there is no fear in being touched

it is the touching

that brings me to my knees
