There are many people on this planet that I do not care for. But there are some who I try to keep track of. Many of those I have simply wrapped with a strand of my soul and when I need to I reach out with my mind and reassure myself. But Few years ago I let someone that I loved walk away. On that day I retracted the strand that i had with her .... i let her go with my blessing as was her choice.
That does not mean that I do not worry. On the contrary, she had relocated to Texas and each time a storm got to close I asked the four winds to spare my friend .... From time to time I feel her as close as New Jersey. But it has been a long while since I actively sought her out.
I have to trust that she will be/is/was going to be okay. But, still, I worry; and I miss her..
