Outlander

 

We laugh now, as we

piece together the

sweet coincidence that

we arrived in our little

town within days of

each other – and only

a few hundred yards apart.

 

You: hitch-hiking from the East Coast on a cosmic adventure

Me: escaping sad confines across state, charting a new life and education

 

From the distance of

Fifty years, it feels like

some sort of magic was afoot.

Perhaps we each touched the

Standing Stones and were transported

to that spot.

 

In the movie version: the camera

pans out to show the months it took

for us to finally meet. And –

the many more months for us

to recognize that magic place

within our friendship!
