That feeling I get

I experienced something today that I had forgotten even existed. 

It is the deep seated warmth and sense that all is right with my world that I used to have coming home from elementary school in Springfield, Illinois.  I don't think I ever felt it again after we moved away from Butler school.   Maybe because I was older and knew more about the world, or maybe other things changed, but whatever the reason, I feel blessed to have felt it today.

I'm not sure what brought it back, but I suspect it is because my world is full of soul deep loving people right now. 

There is no gossiping, no complaining, no mistreating in my immediate world.  Everyone in the inner circle treats everyone else with loving respect and care -- and that's the way it should be.

The rest have been relegated to the outer limits.  They still have a place, but it is at a safer distance.

Bestest says my control ends at the tip of my nose.  He's right, so if I can kiss you on the nose we must be pretty well suited for each other.  If I can touch you with my hand we need to be happy to be around each other.  If I don't want to lay eyes on you we are better off apart.

It is possible to treat people humanely, help them out, even stand up for them, without bringing them into your inner circle. 

That is not being selfish, it is being intelligent.  Negative things cause illness, aging, sadness, depression.  Eliminating as many as possible only makes sense.

That little bit of warmth I felt today?  It just might be a glimpse of heaven.
