it’s amazing. every time it happens. refreshed and reconnected.
due to circumstances i have a cousin who i sometimes only see every few years. at one point we didn’t see each other for 9 years. but we were raised by sisters and that is something that time doesn’t impact. we live different lifestyles, are separated by age, he is adopted and for so many other reasons that fall amid that spectrum there could be awkward moments of silence or getting reacquainted or not getting each other at all. but that’s not what happens. it is easy. light. smooth. and it’s rejuvenating in a very deep place because you are reminded that there are connections that you have nothing to do with. regardless of efforts to the contrary those connections remain and there is just something so powerful and comforting about that being out of our human control.
