a new perspective and a further variation on a theme

 yesterday - it happened. For background material go to this previous blog

I got all the questions in; she's been working on the other side, I didn't get to see her face again but I know her name. So what was nagging me to my core has found some kind of resolution. We weren't complete strangers so what did this make us? Incomplete strangers? All I know is that I felt whole, especially the where the fuck have you been part.

I didn't see her today but I had an extraordinary scenario all mapped out in my mind to celebrate.

"(name omitted), how are you? So good to see you again (name omitted). I was beginning to think we would never cross paths (name omitted). Anyway, this has been really great (name omitted). Oh, and by the way in case you forgot, my name is (omitted)."

thinking about it, I gave some pause for exactly what I was celebrating. Maybe some of the things that this lock down has removed. Civility, certain pockets of the humane and the common good.

whatever happens in the future, at the very least and based the surreal evolution of this association, is that we become famous friends.
