The encounter

I was sitting on the railing. It was outside   a movie venue in Telluride at the film festival.

A staff person came up to me and asked if I was Michael. She than said Michael’ last name.  I looked at her for a moment. My mind was spinning.

I said no but that name was the name of a dear friend who died just a few years  ago and I miss him everyday.

She said she was sorry and commented  that it had been a day of surprises and strange events. I can’t explain it. I don’t want to try. But for that moment I was in Telluride with Michael celebrating life.

Thank you for the encounter that brought friends together again.
