The Statue of Liberty

Today I thought about how many times I mention the impact of the amazing people on my life. I mention people specifically all the time. I'm worried one day someone will come to me and wonder why I am so specific. I talk about the same people all the time. I figure the remarkable people are like the landmarks of my soul's journey through life. If I see the Statue of Liberty, I wouldn't simply explain that I visited a statue. I would go on and explain how much I enjoyed my visit to New York and that I saw the Statue of Liberty in all her glory. I went to the very top and I felt as if I was a small part of our nation's history. That is how my soul feels about people. When I converse with someone awesome it is a big deal. The true enjoyment is the  whole experience of being around him or her.

Unlike monuments though people are reactive and change rapidly. I love that every time I run into someone it's like I'm visiting a monument for the first time. I know its' history and yet it's the first time I've seen it up close. I know my friends. I watch them grow as human beings and yet everything that happens makes seeing them exciting. The trials of daily life are truly fascinating to me. I may just be normal in that sense  though.

It should be an interesting four days. My family too never fails to fascinate me. it's been just over thirty six hours and though I am not rushing the break I am looking forward to my short return to MQT.
