Danny, was 11 on 911. He had been, for a few hours and without knowing it, a child in danger of losing his parents. And there he was, standing at the bar, having traveled though 20 years, sharing his story with me, a stranger. Something that happened 20 years ago had come full circle and placed me and Danny at an intersection of immense specificity. An 11 year old boy whose parents dodged a bullet and an older woman who had never given his generation a thought.
The Universe works in brilliant ways, like ripples in a pond. You flowed with it and were gifted insight. Wonderful musing this morning!
I want to print it out and go back and see that bartender. How are you feeling my darling? We miss you!
