I think with confidence
I can say that I’m nobody.
I’m just blessed to be able
to be impressed by some “special others”!
And I’m blessed to have met
those who have impressed me.
and thus I have changed
to be even more impressionable!
To cherish the best that
a person has to offer:
having been impressed persistently
by the conditions of their own lives!
Experiences that reach deep down
to places not so often touched!
And to become that “special other”,
is to be touched in those places!
We’re wired for novelty, rejoicing …
being amazed, with big wondering eyes,
seeing THAT we have never seen before,
updating the universe inside our skulls!
That’s who we are, that’s what we do!
And so those who open a new window
to a new breeze, take our breath away,
refilling us with the fresh breath of their presence!
Seeing the world in the light of their realities,
seeing it in a new light every time we chance upon them,
and yet e'er eager for that next encounter!
That is to be impressionable, that is to be nobody!
