the map in your heart*
frida, canon digital rebel xti
I love the way your eyes and smile linger after a conversation has reached its end. You continue to search deeper in the eyes of your friend for that connection that is safe in silence, away from words. This is a rare gift. When so often people turn away out of fear of being too seen...you allow a haven in your eyes that says stay. And we do. We stay in your presence and breathe softer there.
I know it is breaking your heart to leave Afghanistan, my friend but truly...your soul work doesn't stop there. It ministers to people everywhere you go. You hold the map of the world in your heart and those that live in it are forever changed because of this.
This week I promised my heart to meditate on joy in my life. The idea that months and months ago, you reached out to me from a land far, far away and our blogs brought us together, confirms to me the power of intention in my life and the lives of others. This brings me knee deep in joy.
I gaze at how I captured you, capturing the world around you in this portrait. Your journey is not ending, my friend...but only getting even more outrageously rockin' by the day.
I'm so blessed to have been a stop along your way on that map that is snuggled into your heart.

You know that you are not a stop along the way, right? You are one of my permanent homes now. Marked on the map in indelible ink...

I echo Denise's words...your adventure and mission are not ending when you leave Afghanistan, they are continuing in a different way. We love you so much, and can't wait to see where you go next.

i echo about the butt. :S i feel shy admitting that, because i'm so new to her blog, but she's got a cute one. lol
this is such a wonderffuly supportive letter, and so beautiful to witness.

if i did not read 'frida', i would have thought is was you...or your sister?
i agree...Frida's world is unfolding..into something serene...beautiful...she is on a new journey to find the next piece to her puzzle...just imagine building a world map...leaving a little (or BIG) piece of your heart everywhere she's been or going to...as she touches hearts!

What a lovely tribute and ahahaha, I totally noticed your butt too. But it's cool, we're girls, we can say that...right?

I miss having someone in my life that loves me this much, or that I can love like that in return. What a blessing to have such a friend in your life, and for you to have the ability to express what she means to you. Hold tight. You're very, very lucky.
