Surprise visit from a new friend

I have been staying with a friend of mine in MD, whom I met at a courthouse in MA, who lived in NH, from two years ago. This afternoon I got a text from a new friend I met earlier this week saying she was in town.

So yeah! Let's meet up.

We went to a park nearby for a walk along a river with a small dam.

Then we got italian ice and sat in the shade. Finally, talking back at the house. It was really cool to merge the worlds of these friends for a bit. And to have the surprising chance to see people like this.

Every day. Being real. It's like all the lessons I have been trying to learn for years are falling into place. One after another, every day I am more whole.
