communion of souls

So many categories and dividing lines in the human life. What color are you, what is your religion, what nationality do you claim, what side of the freeway do you live on?

Our souls know none of these dividing lines. Souls don't drive cars - fancy or cheap. They don't wear shoes, worn or shiny new. No color is visible, nationalities perhaps are not relevant - that's how I like to think. That when a kindred spirit approaches, our souls recognize that connection, and feel a passion in that union, however momentary, however different or at odds we may be in the physical world, even however different the species, like a boy and his dog.

Sometimes, though, kindred souls may be hesitant or even avoidant. Our minds have their prejudices, or may obsessively cling to earthly memberships, statuses and rulebooks. Sometimes our minds get in the way of the greetings of our souls.
