The threads running between us all are something I've been thinking about a lot lately. Yesterday, back in Honolulu, I experienced yet another reminder.
I was sitting in an auditorium, waiting for an informational session to begin. Looked up to the front and saw an old friend. Someone I lost track of in early 1999. Someone I spent many hours with in the summer of 1998, in the Gambia. Someone who came up in conversation last week, on the same night another thread became apparent, while having dinner with another Peace Corps friend.
I'm used to these things happening in my Baha'i world. And in my public health world. And while this session was related to my job, and my time with Peace Corps was related to public health, this friend was on another track when I knew him.
While I can't always feel the threads, it's comforting to know they're there.
