The Middle Seat Angel

October 20, 2018
Somewhere over the Pacific


 
On a long flight to Bali. 
My angel appears
in the middle seat

I am bummed that the seat isn't empty
Selfishly







His name is Melvin

He calls me ma'am
So polite

The conversations begins
And ends 13 hours later 
on another continent
across the world

He is in the airforce
Committed
Humble
Strong
In mind and body

We talk about so many things
Relating
Connecting
Communicating our souls

Trekking in Nepal
Growing our own food
Journaling
Meditation
The unlimited potential of our mind
High cardiovascular coherance is contagious
16 Hands Wine
Bi Bim Bop
Yoga
Rock climbing in Yosemite
"The only thing that pairs well 
with trying to grasp the concept of General Relativity, 
is good dark chocolate"

When I close my eyes to rest
He writes it all down
in my brand new blank journal
The moon goddess Selene
adorning the cover

Thank you Trey
For opening my mind
Sharing your wisdom
Flying through time and space
with me
