special connections

a little musical enjoyment while you read this post

it's it funny how your connections are to some people?

i saw people doing a special handshake and i had to think back to mexico.  i had 2 special hand shakes.  one with pool and one with giovanni.  well giovanni's was more of just a touch which rooted back to us being phenomenal.  that's a long story.  and i'm not quite sure how me and pool's evolved.  

i sat there and tried to remember the hand shake i did with them everyday for almost a year.  

it suddenly became very important.

with some people you have songs.  

i recently saw a quote on oheasytiger about music:  "music is a total constant.  that's why we have such a strong visceral connection to it, you know?  because a song can take you back instantly to a moment, or a place, or even a person.  no matter what else has changed in you or the world, that one song stays the same, just like that moment." -sarah dessen

it's amazing how something that once seemed so routine can have such a big significance when you start to miss something or someone.  

maybe it's a song, maybe it's a star, maybe it's a handshake...

things change in life.  but it's nice to have something remind you of that time or person and think back to how you felt in that moment and enjoy it for what it is.
i wouldn't be who i am now without all those experiences.
growth.

"That was a memorable day to me, for it made great changes in me.  But, it is the same with any life.  Imagine one selected day struck out of it, and think how different its course would have been.  Pause you who read this, and think for a moment of the long chain of iron or gold, of thorns or flowers, that would never have bound you, but for the formation of the first link on one memorable day."  Charles Dickens Great Expectations
