My mother is a brilliant woman and she told me this story once. At the beginning of time, there were only a certain number of souls in the world. Strong ties bound these souls to the souls of their family, children, lovers, neighbors and enemies. Throughout the centuries the old souls, original souls, were reborn into different bodies. The attachments the old souls made in The Beginning still lingered. Today, if you have an old soul, you have a hidden connection to a small number of people on the planet. Your soul will find peace and comfort in the company of the reborn souls of your clan, your tribe, your family.
From one old soul to another, there is no way to express how completely and totally at ease you make me feel. This is an age where acting and hiding are a way of life. Talking to you is like coming home after a long journey. There is no pretense, no sham, no worries about how you'll react or what you'll think of me. You provide a sanctuary where random observations and deep insights into human nature are normal. Where we can share the baggage of our lives, but not be seen as damaged or lacking. We can be wise one moment and silly the next, a helping hand or personal DJ. Our old souls knew each other before and are thankful for the chance to get reacquainted. Together we shine like a star. Apart, we will be better for knowing what it was to shine.

"If in the twilight of memory we should meet once more, we shall speak again together and you shall sing to me a deeper song.
And if our hands should meet in another dream we shall build another tower in the sky."
- The Prophet, Kahlil Gibran
