““as if we were mysteriously brought to a trailhead to begin a journey. We do not know where the path may lead; only that Spirit has opened a way for us both. ~ We usually sense affinity at once, but it can also happen with someone we initially have little in common with, who in time is revealed to be a deep friend. The fact dawns on us slowly. Many small events are needed before a match is struck and we find our hearts kindled. Moments of knowing can never be planned. They are given to us. Our responding “yes” is given to us as well. We cannot force it. We can only recognize it and then gratefully receive it.””
