Kindred Spirits.

In front of a disabled housing complex, there is a man who sits at the corner.  Every morn he watches the comings and goings as he sits on a kitchen chair.  One day, I decided to wave.  A moment of hesitation followed by a wave was the response to my good morning hello.  In the days following, we developed a ritual.  I see him there and smile as I wave.  His face beams with glee as he raises his arm upon my passing.

I, being human, felt boastful and proud "perhaps I brightened his day...what a good person I am.  Who can I tell about my good deed?" But my spirit...my spirit says no no no dear human, for you do not understand; this was a gift you two must share together, EQUALLY accepting each other's positive energy.  How dare you think you have the upper hand.  Boastfulness is wasted breath upon which negative energy lingers.  

I continue to wave and smile most times in response to him now..... because I am a spirit.  I am a spirit within a human body.  My spirit has the power to have a relationship with this man without ever speaking a word.

Go! Go out into the world and emit positive energy; be it through thought, prayer, or random acts of kindness.  Live with your spirit in the forefront of your life.  Soon you will develop more meaningful relationships and feel a high better than any drug you could ever imagine.  Go get high on life.
