So far yet so close

I just had a really introspective moment I thought was worth mentioning. I was sitting out on my deck working on my computer and enjoying a cigar. I looked up and was struck by a picturesque night sky. It captivated my attention for a moment and it got me thinking in an American Tail way...we are all looking up at the same sky. I may be far away from home, friends and family. But really we are as close as the sky that we share above us. Our spirits are what connect us. The physical distance can only pull us apart so much but as long as we hold on to each other in our hearts and minds it doesn't matter how far we are away. I take comfort in the fact that in these type of moments I feel connected with people in a powerful way even without a physical touch or an audible voice. I want you, my loved ones, to know that you are in my heart and my thoughts...especially as I stare up into the sky that we all share.
