No Barrier

Tonight really confirmed something to me.. That there is no barrier in understanding and connecting to another person despite age, sex or religion. This was really humbling to me. As I know this on a fundamental and logical level, but I was blown away by this conversation. I am struck with an awe of how it is possible to develop such a deep channel of communication and understanding with someone within a very short conversation.. I don't know if this is a reflection on the need for 2 way honesty in conversation, or does it reflect on the magic that exists in each individual person and sometimes that is able to be unlocked by someone who has the right set of keys. Maybe the keys are a common understanding of the world, maybe commonality in a similar set of life challenges, or maybe just something mysterious and unnameable. Either way, I have to say that I was moved by this brief discourse.. It made me believe in people and reflect on the true value that we can actually offer each other. We are each great treasures to be offered and shared with each other in the purest sense.
