We Leave Our Imprints On One Another's Soul

Do you ever really think about how once a spirit has touched us, really touched us, we never really lose the connection. It is as close as our memory; our photos of remembrance.
People cross our path all the time, some touch us, and some we touch. We are never quite the same as before we met along the way, for we leave our imprint on each others soul and impact its growth and enlightenment.
It doesn’t really matter what level the relationship is on or even if its in the physical reality. Some of you I will not forget and some of you will not forget me, and we will never see one another. But something about you that transcends time and space and age and status connects us in the silence of our words. Some of us hear each others depths, vibrate to each others song, inspire each others poem. It is the depth of peoples touching, not the length or the means. It is resonating we do with another spirit , the simpatico of recognition, the comfort of understanding, or the apparent conflict so full of hidden jewels of meaning that it spews forth love for those worthy of the fight.
Death and parting are not endings, they are changes in the way and form of relationship, but relationship goes on. Love does not die and spirits live on, we never really lose someone we have touched, someone we have loved.....they are as close as our photos of remembrance, their lingering scent in the very air we breathe, their touch, where our skin suddenly feels warm, as if spread ever so gently with melted butter left out in the sun..................
