As many people as I know, today I actually had a hard time thinking who I felt like writing to. It was an interesting experience for me, because usually when I decide I need to send a note to someone, it's pretty easy to pick someone out quickly. Today I thought and thought all day. A few times I even went so far as to put the stationary in front of me with a pen, and nothing would come. Finally I decided to try something. I closed my eyes and just focused on my breath as I meditated for a moment. Almost immediately, the face of my friend Airen entered my mind. So Airen it was!
Airen and I met via my husband's network of musician friends. She used to be married to a guy he performs with sometimes, and she and I quickly became friends. Airen and I run with very different circles. She's a rock 'n' roll biker chick, and I'm well, not. We do, however, share views on many things in life, and we share a passion for photography and for cooking. I had the privilege of photographing her wedding. We also share a passion for yoga, though I hate to say I haven't been in probably a year... which I hate. She is a true free spirit and I just love her.
Writing to Airen made me reflect on the artistic side of my life. Whenever I hang out with her I always feel inspired to just go out somewhere with my camera and shoot until I run out of disc space. I hardly ever get the chance to do so anymore... rather, I hardly ever make the time to do so... another thing I need to improve about myself.
I hope my card finds her in good spirits, and that she acts on the request I included :o)
