Let’s face it. Our planet is a very large space, and though I have traversed a reasonable amount of it, though not nearly enough, the idea that in traveling you might coincidentally bump into someone you knew when you were a child, or that you met when traveling through Europe, is hard to get your mind around.

And yet, it happens.

Time and time again we meet up with people in the most unlikely of circumstances, we cross a road and there that person is. Had we not crossed, or crossed a minute later, the connection would not have happened.

Sometimes it feels like the world is shrinking.

Two teaching friends of mine each independently set off for a trip around Europe. One has a voice and a cackle that would wake the dead. I know nobody who is as loud as she.

So my other friend got off her bus, and heard the cackle.
