It was simple this afternoon.  I sat with a friend in a coffee shop.  No big deal.  Just simply sweet.

Our eyes were open.  Our gaze was soft. Our conversation flowed between things that were important to us.  No competition.  No grandstanding …  no “Look at me!”

“Here’s my life.  What’s yours like?”  It didn’t matter what was said, what feelings were shown.  Everything was accepted, even if our viewpoints weren’t always the same.

It was easy … and the moments stretched out.  I felt limp.  Like there were no bones inside, nothing holding a structure fast.

What was next was unknown.  The future minutes could be unlike the previous ones.  No matter.

The ordinary was here, but it was shimmering.  Something unknown was being shown the light of day.  We rested into being so okay. 

There was nothing to teach, nothing to learn.  Differences in age, gender, personality were meaningless.  Just two human beings curious about what would emerge next.
