Day 095b: Sustenance with a Soulmate … (July 18, 2019)

I headed later that still-early morning to a local Ponferrada cafe where I met up once again with my dear Friend, Naisah, and was blessed to sit with her for several hours there, reveling in heartfelt conversation about Life & Friendship & the Camino & Kindness. What a Joy to meet Old Friends once more and share with them in person how wonderful they are and how much they Mean!

Courage – Kindness – Friendship – Character; these are the qualities that define us as human beings, and these are the qualities that propel us, on occasion, to greatness.” ~ via R.J. Palacio

The mark of Friendship is not that help will be given when the push comes to shove (Of course it will) but rather that, after said help has indeed been given, it makes little difference at all.” ~ via C.S. Lewis

People aren’t born innately good, nor are they born inevitably bad. Yes, folks are slathered by situations & circumstances that breed tendencies one way or the other, and yet we are all ever free to decide who we truly are. In truth it is not our upbringing that matters, but rather the way we live our Here&Now that matters. And, of course, the people we have been blessed to know – and remain honored to adore ever still.” ~ inspired by Cassandra Clare
