Sometimes you feel a special kinship
with something or someone you really no nothing about …..
One day a week I usually travel
to Lexington, SC for one of my several jobs. As I pass through Lugoff, I always
see a middle-aged woman (Funny how “middle-age”
gets older as one does. I would say I am middle-aged and yet I am surely past
this point by some years. I don’t really expect to reach 104 + a few
years. And surely this woman is 5-15 years older than I, but I digress….)
walking to or from a job (I suppose). I pass her about the same spot every time,
but can tell if I am running late (or early) by where I pass her. I can also
estimate the weather by her attire.
I usually wave, but have never
have seen her see my wave. But in some sense, I feel an acquaintance with her.
If one morning she is absent, I will wonder if she is sick, retired, or on
vacation.
I venture we should feel at least
the same kinship with everyone we see or meet-greeting their Guardian Angels as
we pass.
Oremus pro invicem!
