I've also had that "golden thread" of connection between myself and a friend. Once, my friend was pregnant and living half-way across the country from me..on 4th of July I got the unmistakable feeling of "thrumming" along the connection and I just *Knew* something was very wrong. It was almost 2 weeks before I finally managed to get ahold of her, 2 weeks of worry and hell. I knew SHE was ok, but I also knew something was very wrong. I found out later that her youngest son (age 12) had climbed 45 foot up a poplar tree, trying to get his kite unstuck. He was moving out on a branch while holding on to another above him when both snapped. The top branch acted as a balance (like a tight-rope walkers balance)so he fell upright and on his feet; but he broke every bone in both feet and had cardiac arrythemias for several days. The stress put her in the hospital and she had to have a c-section while he was still hospitalized. I still don't know why I felt that; but I did.

Only once have I had that living connection "snapped." That was over 25 years ago. It's still raw.
