& Again
There are certain people in this world that I feel I already know.
It’s like we’ve been here before and are just picking up where we left off.
I visited with such a person recently
& it makes me even more sure of what I already believe.
This person and I met in January.
We just happened to be on the same bus
& although that bus was pretty much empty and she had her choice of seats, she asked if it would be alright to sit next to me.
I said yes, automatically
But, I didn’t really give her much thought.
I just figured she would get lost in her thoughts, I’d get lost in mine and that would be that.
Instead, we talked
& talked
& talked.
After the bus arrived at our destination, we parted ways.
But after about 10 minutes or so, our paths crossed again.
My new friend knew I would be waiting for my daughter to pick me up.
I had mentioned I would be sitting at that station for awhile.
As it turned out, the ride she was expecting would be late in picking her up too.
Instead of going off and doing her own thing to kill the minutes, she chose to sit next to me
& our conversation happily continued.
Soon, her ride arrived
& we said our second goodbye.
As I sat waiting on Daughter, I thought about my new friend
& how very much I enjoyed our encounter.
& although I was thinking ‘how nice’ I figured that was pretty much that.
She has her life.
I have mine.
We would be a brief moment in time buddys.
Enter Facebook.
A new conversation began and continues on that friendly social site
& somewhere in FacebookLand, I mentioned I would be visiting Grandson, who happens to live in my new friend’s state.
Knowing this, she contacted me about getting together while I am in town.
We did.
& it was very, very, lovely.
Which leads me back to knowing someone before.
What are the chances of being so in tune with someone I happened to meet on a bus ?
Someone who’s background, age and upbringing are so very different from mine.
I feel a such a strong connection with her
& with other certain someones in my life.
A feeling that we all have been here before
& we are all meant to meet up again.
So to the people who calm me just by hearing their voice & knowing they are in my life.
To my family
To my long lost but now reconnected, life long friends
& to the new people I’m still meeting ….
I want you to know that I feel a wonderful, cosmic connection with all of you
& I very much appreciate this chance to meet up again
& again
& again
