My Favorite People

Do you ever feel so connected to other people, whether you've met them or not, to where you really believe that we all were friends and family, and something much stronger than words here, like friendship and relationship can mean? Sometimes language falls short. Sometimes I feel so much emotion and so many deep and special, powerful feelings that trying to write or describe them just won't work because it's dragging it down. It's not living up to the feeling in the soul.

I love people, and I'm not going to lie. I have my favorites. I don't pick them as favorites based on what I think of them. I pick them based on what I feel in my spirit when I see them, or when I hear their name. The judgement is true, you cannot argue or deny a feeling. Some of these are people that I know very intimately. Some of these are people that I've known since I was born...or since they were born. I grew up with some of them. Some of them I've never met. Some of them I know better than others. Some of them I will never meet in this life. Some of them I know better than I know myself it seems. Some of them don't know me at all. Some are rich, some are poor. Some are serious, some are hilarious. Some have passed on, many are still here. Some are lonely, some are famous...some are both I'm sure of it.

There are just a handful of people for me who make feelings come to me, the strongest of feelings, to where even something funny can bring crying. Something good, amazing talent can bring a laugh of unbelief, or again crying. It's hard to contain the emotion I guess. I am finding that I am a Willard. I cry.......sometimes for no reason.....and sometimes for every reason in the world.

These people I can never learn enough from. I can never learn enough of them. They will always be in my mind. I will always be thinking of them. The ones I know, I miss terribly and wish that I could be with them, all of the time. Time is a curse, isn't it. As for the people I know but have not met. I can't wait to tell them things, to ask them things, everything.

I very much believe in personal revelation. I also believe that personal revelation can happen and does happen in a lot of different ways and with a lot of life's encounters and experiences. Most people generally see it as a spiritual experience. It is a spiritual experience but isn't always about spiritual things per say. At least this is true for me, especially being a person who writes music, lyrics and poetry. That is personal revelation right there, but it's also a whole other post.

The people that I love most in this life are the people that I feel the most love from. That doesn't mean that they personally show me love. That means that a deep feeling of love and happiness comes to me when I am with them, or in the case that I have not met them, when I am observing or learning from them. It's awful really sometimes, to see someone's face and want to cry because the happiest loving feeling is filling your spirit. They aren't necessarily doing anything for me, but something is being done. That love is coming from somewhere, and I allow them, in my mind, to share some of the credit.

I sometimes mention to others here and there who these people are, and have even done so on this blog, but I don't talk about the fact that they together are my favorites as if they were a group, or a team of favorites if you will. I actually like to say their names in my head together, it makes it so much better. They are like a series of books, like the Harry Potter series. Each book is so good just by itself, but the series together is so special, with everything in place,....it's perfect. That's how I feel about my favorite people. A good book can make you a better person. A wonderful series of books can change your life,.....not change your life, rather.....make your life. So to my favorite people, who don't know who you are, you have made my life, from my past to the present, and you will make my future wonderful as I learn and think and dream about you, my special friends.
