I want to live next door to you...
I love that I get to spend time here in the U.S. re-seeing people, but its usually just a one time re-connect, always leaving me with all sorts of unfinished conversations, like there's about a billion things we didn't even cover and sometimes even unfinished business and possible misunderstandings not yet addressed. Then comes that crazy desire to move close to wherever they live and set up a regular life contact.
It reminds me of Rilke's famous quote about loving the questions themselves...because that is what happens I have so many questions at the end of our lunch, dinner or coffee. Part of me says yes to Rilke and that I should just enjoy the richness of relationships even unfinished ones that may never be complete.
Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't trade the re-seeing for anything. But I just don't know that I'm the right kind of person for once a year meet ups... my social skills are all right but my heart wants more. I am a romantic, and there is a part of me that wants every single person that I know and love to be my bosom heart best friend.

What a beautiful post, Judy. I have a feeling we will be able to catch up in a heaven in a soul-satisfying way we can't now. Maybe this is part of our deeper longing for a true home? Love you!
