Exactly.
When Liz and I talk to each other it's with our hands, the creases in the corners of our eyes and our whole hearts. I'll start a sentence and she'll finish it for me. In our conversations we usually end up constructing these art directed fantasies that only take time (sometimes seconds, sometimes years) to manifest. In my mind I like to take on the whole world - I visualize my life, as I want it to be, in transparent layers (upon layers) and big pictures. Meanwhile Liz is taking on the details - she's boiling them down to their essence until they become this kernel of beauty and truth. Some kind of magic happens as we concoct these fantasies together - we trade stories about the grand future and the beauty in the present moment. Our conversations become a back-and-forth dance of adjectives, nouns and verbs. We affirm each other with words like clearly and exactly.
When Liz shared with me a link to her new blog (starting with a post that made me cry) I knew that it would be beautiful and articulate. And it is. I knew the details would take me to the magical places our face-to-face conversations do. And they do. Now you're invited to go there too.

YAY! Now I can finally comment from this profile!
Big huge thanks for letting me piggyback on your fame.
Lover.
This kind of choked me up too (your blog and hers.) One part being the friendship/sisterhood you obviously share and how fulfilling I know this can be. The other being that of not dreaming, but running after the dreams and making them real. Grabbing them by the neck and owning them. Owning your life.
My life seems fragile lately and I keep moving forward not feeling like I'm moving forward, ya know? You are refreshing miss Kathleen. And inspirational.
Oh wow. Liz, her words, they tugged at my heart. And Kathleen, I love friends like that. I have mine pushing me every time for the dreams I have, and when I'm just too damn tired, she pushes me again. BRB, signing up for Liz's blog.
I am so happy that you lent me your best friend. She makes my life a joy. I am also happy that you are now my pal through her. xxo
