Strangers

Strangers

are new creations

which in our 

landscapes appear..

A new attention

on our walks..
Surprises declare:
see my difference

from dreary

familiarity..

Yet that familiar

lodged in memory

were once strangers

in our midst
declaring... 

“Your beloved and your friends were once strangers. Somehow at a particular time, they came from the distance toward your life. Their arrival seemed so accidental and contingent. Now your life is unimaginable without them. Similarly, your identity and vision are composed of a certain constellation of ideas and feelings that surfaced from the depths of the distance within you. To lose these now would be to lose yourself.” 
― John O'Donohue, Anam Cara: A Book of Celtic Wisdom
