the image that came to mind tonight while listening to you, ki, describe this idea about our spirits wanting to maintain a close physical relationship, a union we feed through real-life connective stimulus like phone-calls, letters, e-mails, skype dates, postcards, visits even. the minutiae of our lives spelled out and sent through lines hand crafted, snail-slow, or flying millisecond satellite lightwaves to land lightly, perfectly. we're connected, no matter how many miles mark our distance. cuz we've got these big ghost-body spirits floating up above us, holding hands and slow dancing or square dancing or partying like it's 1999. and we just keep sending each other letters. tag, you're it.
OMG, my heart is dancing. i secretly love the fact that we're holding hands over the arctic circle, that we have a symmetrical place in the americas that lets this philly-seattle connection come to life. this is EXACTLY how i imagine our higher selves conversing with each other, even as we sleep and tend to other things. time to write a letter and post it in that mailbox while my big ghost-body spirit gives yours a high-five!
