You are at Kroger’s on Tylersville. Carol is buying ingredients for Grandma Schick’s meatloaf for supper. Kim, Paul and the boys left for a day trip to Oxford and Miami; Carol had an appointment to have her hair done so you also decided not to go. Now you are waiting. Three older Asians walked slowly by to their car and two men smiled and waved a thumb’s up, an acknowledgement you suppose of your mutual ages. Made you feel good, huh? – Amorella
It does. Sometimes old timers wave or otherwise acknowledge themselves, I do so myself when the spirit moves me. A connection perhaps? I had not thought about it in that way. I remember the first time this happened – it was back in the early summer of 1972 and we were at the then new Edgar Cayce building in Virginia Beach, Virginia. Several said hello, but I think they thought they knew both of us from a previous life. It was rather socially awkward – we looked around then left. (We were into the Edgar Cayce books at the time, but once there on the grounds we decided we weren’t into it all that much.)
You told Carol about the Asians and she said that you probably had seen them walking at the Pine Hill Lakes Park. You agreed, feeling foolish for your earlier thoughts. – Amorella
I think I don’t take into account the obvious and I would probably save a lot of imagination if I did.
