Shhh… my Soul is talking, listen.

Do you ever find yourself asking yourself why you are friends with a person?  Life has constant fluxes and people enter and exit your life.  However, some people are from a different world than your own and there is one common thread between you.  Other than the one thread, there is nothing else.  Your worldviews are different.  Your core values are different.  Your taste in music, movies, TV sports, etc. is different.  Your home life, family lives are different.  Your dreams, goals, aspirations are different.  I found myself reflecting on such a person recently and the more I dug to find commonality, the more I realized that there is nothing there.  We have different spiritual outlooks; we do not share common backgrounds, education, or circle of friends.  One could almost say we have nothing in common, yet we managed to become friends.  The inquisitive part of me wonders why.  Why did we become friends?
