I got home last night and found a little package on my porch. It was a birthday present from a dear but faraway friend.
Just the mere presence of a box on my porch made me very happy (I'm like a child when it comes to packages. I was an only child) but the contents made me positively gleeful. Think Link in Ocarina of Time, the sequence when you open a treasure chest.
Seasons 1 thru 7 of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Joss Whedon's epic masterpiece that I have never watched, but always wanted to. The whole entire show on DVD. He knew I would enjoy it.
And it's not just the gift, but the sharing of it. I know he's a passionate fan of it, so when you share something you love with someone who has never seen it, it's like experiencing it again through new eyes. It's the way I feel when I introduce someone to Firefly or Dr Horrible, or even when I share a piece of my writing or artwork with someone. It makes you appreciate it more.
There's no good way of thanking someone for such a special gift, but I just had to share the happy thought. And I know you're reading this, Adam...so read between the lines :)
