There are some days you just know. You read one another well and feel in sync. The stories, laughter and connection is the main thing. It doesn't exist as something separate. It is something that you feel within you and envision traveling back and forth between you. Its in the space between the sentences and the places where you connect.
Sometimes these moments happen when you have a planned occasion to celebrate - usually for an instant. And then other times they exist while the world is spinning round, and others need your attention. When you look at one another you know it's just for you - you in the 'me and you' version.
Friday Ellie took lots of photos of the two of us. The weather was perfect and the fresh air made us feel as though we earned it. So she just kept snapping away. She loves to take photos. Here's the series from just outside the Degoyer Rose Garden at the Arboretum.
The reason I love the one above more than the others is because it's real. No lipstick, no fixing hair, no arranging it just right. We were sharing laughter and having fun with it. And she captured it. I envision this is the kind of photo for the back of a dust jacket on a book - should I have one published one day. Its how I want to be remembered I guess.
And last but not least, we were just done for the day. No one was happy anymore. There were requests to find the bathroom, and why can't we buy bottled water out of the machine. Our time at the Arboretum was coming to an end. Here we let Ellie capture what it looks like to just be done.
Funny, right?
