☕ Coffee and Quiet with Derek Wolf
Welcome to your Sunday.
Yesterday we were floating in the pool, talking about all kinds of things when the conversation drifted toward old friends.
It made me wonder how many people have actually known me for most of my life.
There is one cousin.
One friend I met back in seventh grade.
After that, life seems to move in waves. People come into our lives through school, work, neighborhoods, hobbies, and chance meetings. Some stay for years. Most eventually drift away.
Every now and then a note shows up from someone I haven't seen in years.
"I'm still in the world."
"You're still in the world."
"I remember when."
Sometimes that's all the conversation needs to be.
Then someone asked a question I hadn't thought about before.
If tomorrow you could be friends with most of the people you've known all over again, would you?
I wasn't as quick to answer as I thought I'd be.
Maybe that's a better question than an answer.
Hugzzs,
🌺 Derek Wolf
