kindred connections: my dear friend r


we've been friends since we were 12.  i'd said 13, but she corrected me.  
that seems fitting, as she has the better memory of the two of us.


we ventured around the city and stopped in hollywood cemetary to look, to listen, and to capture.  it was a beautiful day. 


there are many layers to our friendship, so many that are present but don't need naming.  we know them. we've named them over the years.  we know the source of that first meeting, the spaces that we have been, and know that we're present to each other no matter what lies ahead.


we found adventure out in the city, locating treasures here and there.


we savored our time together, drawing close.  we dined well.  we laughed well.  we recalled stories of living well.  we're present to each other in this weekend together and in these spaces of away.  she's one of the reasons that i have my heart in two places, for she's my kindred, my family, too.
