You walk to the bottom of the stairs. The cat is watching me. You look at me. I look at you.
“How was the flight?”
“It was smooth and quick.”
The first officer brings your bag to the car. I open the door and see you safely inside. We buckle up and make for the exit.
“I need to tell you something.” I say with hesitating tempo.
Something strange and wonderful happened. It was calm and serene. Like another world of light and harmony. Before you arrived I saw you. Glowing gold, surrounded by radiant energy. You were with me. I was with you. You told me about a connexion. It was extremely powerful.
You smile. A billion dollar smile. A hint of ocher streams across your cheeks.
“That’s our connexion. I felt it too.”
We are connected in a way that is difficult to explain.
“Are you connected with everybody?” I ask.
Yes, but only with limited intensity. With other empaths I can have extremely powerful experiences. When we first spoke, I knew we had this connexion. I hope it hasn’t been unsettling for you.
The majestic Rockies roll by. The blue-bird sky like a turquoise flag.
“I can’t stop thinking of you!” I blurt out awkwardly.
I thought I was bewitched! It’s a running joke with myself. Each time my mind wanders to you, I laugh– and say, damn! This is crazy! I can’t stop thinking of her!
We laugh together.

Stay tuned for the next installment…
