surprises, anyone?... i've been fortunate these past 2 weeks for a couple of reasons: one, i get a phone call last week from a dear friend from far away, and second, he calls me again this week. it is assumed here that we both miss each other --and that i still need to acquire a phone card so i can thank him in kind... i'm happy knowing that our conversations were not merely happenstance but placed in a sequence fashioned thoroughly by a gift called choice.

on that note, i admire those who take the time to reconnect, despite miles of latitude or longitude between you & those whom you love... i wish to have the same dedication, and dial the number(s) i've often put aside for a rainy day...
