Who are your favorite people to be around?

5148 miles separate me from two ladies who are very special in my life.

One a devout Catholic from Bangalore, the other a devout Muslim from Jordan. When I spent years in their company I’d find myself as the would-be Buddhist, nestled between them.

I returned to the UK from Southern India in October 2005 and have only seen these wonderful souls once since then, but our connection is strong.

These ladies have a faith I admire, respect and a little envious of really, as it makes them incredibly strong and unconditionally kind.
