This week a friend and I had coffee to celebrate both our birthdays. We went to a place on the river and it was so rainy and gray you could barely see the river. Everything was gray. Even the tanker ship going past was ghostly. But inside the coffee shop was cozy and warm. She and I had a great conversation, and it was wonderful to talk. At one point she looked at me, put her hands over her heart and said, “You connect right to a person’s heart. I don’t know anyone else who does that.”
