Just thoughts.

My heart is yearning for a connection. It is restless. My family is here and the time together is wonderful. There is a connection made...but it is only in one part of my heart. Friends and I have exchanged gifts and cards and words and connections are made. But again those connections only reach certain places of my heart. There is a connection made...a tugging heart string... to a heart I know but a face I don't know yet. There is a bit of ache where this connection is - a hope deferred. But still it is only one place of my heart, and it is not the point that yearns.

This day, a celebration of You. And yet I feel You absent. No, not absent. Not acknowledged. By others, yes. My own heart? ....I have nodded in Your direction, offered a pithy phrase, but for the duration of the day nothing more. Yet my heart desires to pull aside and be alone...with You.

My heart is yearning for a connection. A connection with You. Meet with me? At this late hour? The day is not yet over.
