Profoundly Nostalgic....

We are moved ,beyond words, by the appearance of old friends...
Interestingly,,,this includes even old ACQUAINTANCES...
for after all.....we share a  history...
( though it may SEEM as though we don't)...
Why, you ask ?
Because EVERY day for the first 18 years or so of our lives.....
we passed by the same tree....and the same garbage cans....
We all whined for our moms to take us to the SAME Baskin Robbins...
And once we canoodled and manipulated our way in there,,,
we ALL ordered the SAME , PINK BUBBLEGUM ice cream !!
We ALL watched "The Wonder Years" and "The Brady Bunch" and "The Flintstones"...
And we ALL got dropped off on Sundays at the Jewish Community Center...
We ALL played basketball....most of us skied....
You get my point.....

So that....EVEN, if you will,,,,
 after all of our GENETIC CODING and DIVINE IMPRINTING were made manifest ...
EVEN with our  alleged PRE-DESTINY set into place ,,,,
there is a factor....
a HUMAN factor....
a VARIABLE...that we shared.....
 simply because of location and some semblance of socioeconomic standing....
And it is precisely BECAUSE of this PATTERNING.....
 that we found one another....

Are you taking notes ???
