some friends are more than friends...

some are soulmates: 6 days in Ericera, Portugal with my baby-sister from another mother, have filled my heart in all the ways I didn't know I needed.

What’s your name? the newcomer asks.

Oh, I don’t have a name, I smile, cheekily.

This is Sunflower and this is Moonlight, his friend laughs, introducing us.

We look at each other, astounded at how aptly this stranger has named us without knowing us. It’s the kismet magic of connection and intuitive knowing that runs through all of us at play here. She is a sunflower and I am a moonlight in the world.
