A friend of mine from decades ago would call me every couple of years or so to see how I was doing.
Then they contacted me since I had moved out of the city, and I talked to them on the phone around Labor Day. I had literally not seen this person in twenty-five years. And then it got more intense emotionally and I can't figure out why it's happening, or why it's happening now. I am wondering what the hell is going on here.
A whirlwind deep on the inside. Something I never expected.
I wonder if it's something karmic to reignite my friendship with this person.
I've felt very isolated living in a small town with my husband and not having any friends around here.
I have to go to the city and go to concerts to restore my sanity and my faith in higher human achievements, mainly making music. This year we've hit most of the genres--geezer rock by guys in their sixties, avant-garde Wagner opera, jazz, chamber music and the symphony. I always feel more alive in the city.
My husband reads Einstein and Hawking and feels like he is talking to old friends. I need to be around creative people that I can talk to about music that I am interested in. I also have to play the piano to express myself. He understands my need to hang out in the city and go to concerts.
This old friend has nothing to do with the music world. I knew this person from working at the courthouse decades ago.
