Small World
In the past two days, I’ve suddenly run into about a dozen people from my community whom I haven’t seen for the past 5 years,
who happened to all show up in the same place.
After the usual cordialities, they began to discuss art and philosophy with me and one another, a much missing piece
in my life these past years.
It felt as uncomfortable as it was welcoming to suddenly be drawn into these past connections to forge new associates.
My head is still reeling from the meeting, since I was only having coffee with my elderly art friend, when the other people
happened to show up. So the afternoon went quickly with rigorous discussion and connection with the wandering friends.
Yesterday, GF and I went for a walk and there again, two past couples of acquaintances show up in the same place as us.
I don’t know what to make of it after the long drought of being isolated and alone, only in the company of GF for
the past few years. Feeling lonely and depressed yet comfortably safe within myself for the past 5 years.
My lack of trust makes me skeptical as to what exactly happened or why this came about.
I'm trying not to make anything of it, and just chalk it up to happenstance.
