Small World Notes

[00goddess]

I have a dear friend, T, who lives in Portland. He's an OTO brother, which is how we met, but he's also a kindred spirit (I love that OTO gives me the chance to meet those!)

I have a dear, old friend, A, who also lives in Portland. He is from Houston. We go back more than a decade, and I consider him a Beloved: one of those people I've been fortunate enough to connect with on a true, heart level. A is family, no matter time or distance.

SO T and I were talking tonight and he looks at one of my profiles and says "Oh, you know A! He studies martial arts with me."

Me: "Oh, god."

I told him some about my connection to A, then said, "um , you should totally go up to A and tell him you know me."

Both of us simultaneously: "He'll freak!"

Me: "and then he would grab you and hug you :) because he loves me."

T: "i just saw him in the hall and stopped him. he was indeed stunned but he said to say you must come out here soon and that he loves you."

Then T said, "take him up on his word and come out here."

So two lovable redheads are trying to get me to go to Portland... a city I like a whole lot... maybe in Spring or Summer.

What a bizarre small world it is... and smaller all the time!
