Connection Is

Connection is:

the feeling of your skin against mine after a long and tiresome day. the space in between the inhale and the exhale during meditation. crying together in the car listening to our favorite song way too loudly. a table full with laughter between a group of friends who accept each other. the soul pouring heart to hearts that keep you on the phone for hours after you lost track of time. watching the sunset on the beach and remembering who you were with the last time you watched a sunset. watching the sunrise and remembering who you were with the last time you stayed up through the night the watch the rays of light gently kiss the flowing waves. connection is remembering. connection is the raindrops meeting the earth and disappearing deep within its roots. connection is the life in the air when you reach the mountain tops. it’s the peace in air when you rest in the mountains valley. connection is worshipping together. connection is serving together. connection is doing the work together. connection is “me too”. connection is “I hear you.” connection is “I understand”. connection is when our eyes lock under the night sky and I feel our thoughts aligning. connection is knowing we have been here together before not that many lifetimes ago. connection is a story as old as time. connection is the draw I feel to the fire. the moon. the clouds. the butterfly that gracefully glides by moment by moment. connection is how we come together. culture. community. compassion. connection is the past meeting the present meeting the future. connection inspires awareness. connection prays for love. connection understands we could all use a little more love. a little more grace. a little more forgiveness. connection understands that you and I are one.
