Connection

Was surfing the net and suddenly decide to check the online dictionary. Found the meanings of these 2 words from Wiktionary:

Connection: A feeling of understanding and ease of communication between two or more people.

Telepathy: The sympathetic affection of one mind by the thoughts, feelings, or emotions of another at a distance, without communication through the ordinary channels of sensation.

Do you have someone(s) whom you have deep connection with in your life now? Such deep understanding that it can almost be telepathic. Words may be redundant - it just takes you a glance to almost guess what may be going through the other person's mind, or a tingling hunch to feel what the other party is feeling. Is that called intuition or purely understanding?

Personally, I do not think this connection is by chance, neither does it happen overnight. Instead, it is built on many small blocks, like open communication, trust, authenticity, and most importantly, the willingness to open your heart to allow the other party to come into your life. Of course, you cannot establish a deep connection with everyone and anyone. It takes perhaps some unexplained affinity or chemistry, some common life experiences and similarity in ways of thinking as the reactants to create the desired reaction.

Will this so-called connection between 2 persons change with time? I figure so. The only constant in life is changes, isn't it? As we move on with life, we change. Together with that, the relationship with the other person also changes - fading with time due to differences or less sharing and communication, or strengthening due to deeper understanding.

At various stages in my life, will I have different people that my heart can connect to?

Or in such vast land, it is my privilege to find someone(s) that our minds are connected in such amazing ways? If it is so, I am indeed blessed, and I cherish...
