Serendipitously this fall, I have reconnected with some friends from childhood. One lives in New Mexico and one in North Carolina. We're catching up on our lives since high school and slowly sharing information that brings glimpses of who we are now. The internet is a fascinating vehicle that opens up such wonderful possibilities to all of us. And, the accompanying grace is that we can choose to pursue a connection or we can politely turn away. I feel a kinship with both of these friends and they are as real and present to me now as they were over 50 years ago. I eagerly open each email and as I read, so many questions come to mind about them and their lives. It's a newly found treasure and it's both exciting and heartwarming.
