Every now and then, a kind stranger, emails me to tell me that my writing here, means something to them, that they are praying for India and me, or that they recognize themselves in my life, and appreciate what I've said about it.
I am so grateful for these unknown friends. Almost always, there is something in the email about how they recognize how odd it is to email a stranger, care about them, pray about them, and it makes me think, all the more, of how glad I am that they stepped over those social boundaries, and into my life. It's hard to be so vocal, even from the safety of a computer, thousands of miles from me. I know. I feel silly too, sometimes - wonder what people think when I step into their world and place myself in it, even knowing that every single email and comment I've ever had, has made me feel blessed (even the mean ones are kind of fun in an "engaged with someone intensely" sort of way). I've never once thought - how weird, what does he/she want?
Not even a little.
I love it.
I love you.
Thanks for hanging out with me.
