I met a lady. Her name is Megan. We were only in each other's company for a few minutes, two strangers introduced from opposite sides of the world by a mutual friend, Roger.
There was something magical in that moment. She effused a power and energy of pure love I had never experienced before. It was in her aura, her eyes and her smile. Yet, there was also a hint of vulnerability there, too. She was a child in a woman's body. She had been hurt, yet had survived to become successful in business and life. She was strong and powerful on the one hand, yet so gentle and giving on the other.
Sometimes, we meet saints on our journey through life who inspire, encourage and energize us. Megan is one such human being. Teachers are where we find them but only if our eyes and minds are opened enough to embrace them.
Two days after we met, Megan returned to America and we have continued to develop our relationship through e-mails. What began as a cursory introduction has developed into a fully blossoming friendship that I value to a great degree.
Open your heart, eyes and mind. Your next best friend could be waiting right around the corner of circumstance. You never know. Life is what happens while we are busy making plans, according to John Lennon, one of my all-time favorite heroes.
Here's to you, Megan. Thanks for coming into my life and sharing yours with mine.
