Still more people come. I went to a reading on Sunday that my voice teacher urged me to attend. I didn’t want to go because it was an excerpt from a book her guru had written and I’m not all that keen on the practice they do. She had whittled it down to an hour and a half and her actor/husband did a great job with the reading.
I was kind of hoping to run into the guy who sang the sad song in German at the recital. I figured he might be as he’s an actor, too, and I know my teacher is fond of him. He was there all right, but with some woman who couldn’t have been his wife, though he had a wedding ring on. I don’t know why he interests me since he seems so morose.
I caught him watching me a couple times. But he’d quickly look away when I would turn back around in my seat to face front. He was sitting two rows up and one seat over. On the other side of him were two women from my past, sisters.
It was so bizarre running into them there that when I got to my car I kept walking. That’s when I realized how odd it was to be attending this guru’s talk one block down the street from my old guru where I’d spent five years studying Taoism. That hit me hard. I don’t get what these people have in common or why they are showing up now but I do know it has to do with my spiritual practice and hers.
I wanted to sit down and think so I went into a restaurant called Milo’s City Cafe. I ordered chicken picatta, a glass of wine, and a piece of paper, and I wrote about seeing the two women. It’s in my purse in the other room but it’s late so I’ll have to do it next time.

it’s like you’re strong enough to face your past and are having a chance to do so… still odd tho!
did you order the paper? if so, that makes me smile…
Perhaps they’ve always been around but you’re just suddenly noticing them…
Such unusual amazing occurances!
I also love that you ordered paper. Other than feeling odd to run into these people, did you have any other feelings/instincts about it? Sometimes I think chance meetings like that are tools for recovering some feeling or memory or learning from when the people were present factors. But then I tend to get lost in a memory sometimes.
I like that the German man looked at you. Not that it should lead anywhere but that it is nice to be noticed. Grumpy guys fascinate me too much so I am not about to judge being drawn to the morose ones.
This is becoming an incredible story of significant people from the past, or maybe not even that significant but their reappearance is, a reconnection for you to so many strands, activities, friends that indicate where you’ve come from to be who you are now and there’s a reunification going on, it’s really something, Pru. xo
I think all of these people entering your past is like coming full circle…possibly accepting things as they were/are and here they come back around the corner to greet you! marilyn
Maybe they are still searching for what to fulfill their spiritual need. How are you?
Does it FEEL good, this reconnection? As long as if feels good I’d probably stop analyzing it and just wait and see. Not much else you can do anyway. You’re at least aware, and that’s what’s important to me, noticing, paying attention.
so did you talk to them?
The church is very pretty, isn’t it.
