Note from the Missed Connections Chief Bottle Finder:
Nothing like a little locally grown organic kale to keep your body, mind, and heart happy! Let’s hope these two discover astrological compatibility and move forward together in their quest for compost, respectful co-habitators, and living a happy, groovy life free of Mercury retrogrades (which always seems to make life challenging…).
Missed Connections In Boulder, CO
Astrological Vibes
We locked eyes at the locally grown organic kale stand.
You are a 35-55 female with a beautiful pale green aura, gracefully graying hair, and a long flowing skirt.
Our conversation ranged from local politics to composting and we discussed our respective struggles we are both having with our inconsiderate housemates.
Message me back with your sign, I felt yours and know you sensed mine.
Blessings.

The first thing I noticed when I went to the farmer’s market was the mountains that loomed over Boulder. The second thing I noticed was that it smelled like spring. The third thing I noticed was him. I nearly tripped over my skirt when our eyes met. His irises were a vibrant, organic green, like the kale we were both about to buy. He smiled crookedly and remarked upon a political flyer that had just been shoved into his hand. We talked about many things, but I was barely paying attention. My mind was absorbed with his curly brown hair, his plaid shirt, his rough but steady workman’s hands. His comforting smell easily overpowered that of spring. We were standing close together, and at one point I could have sworn that his left hand moved forward slightly, then stopped, as if he were resisting the urge to touch the bottom of my long hair. I said goodbye after I had paid for my kale, and walked away. I completely forgot to ask his name. But I am confident that we will find each other again. I know we will.

I love this “Pretending to Know You” response to the Astrological Vibes missed connection. I’m so happy you’re posting these Becky – it’s exactly what I was hoping creative writers would want to do with the messages that are on Lovelorn Poets. Thank you for sharing your work with us and we look forward to seeing more of it in the future. 🙂
