Today was momentous.  I met my friend Christine … for the first time.  We’re members of the Evolutionary Collective, an organization which meets on Zoom, with participants far and wide in the world.

When Christine was in the EC’s teacher training program, I was the Zoom host for one of her courses.  We worked well together, and deeply appreciated each other’s gifts.

We set it up to meet for lunch at the Market Coffee House in East London.  As I awaited her arrival, I told the young server about our story.  She too was excited to know that very soon Christine would be opening the door.

I had a touch of nervousness … hardly anything.  Mostly I was thrilled to open a new chapter of friendship.

We’ve had fine talks for the past few hours, interrupted by us being on an Evolutionary Collective call for an hour.  I saw Christine’s rectangle on the screen, with only two doors between our actual rooms.  Very fun.

Christine’s husband will be home soon and we’ll be heading off to some restaurant to celebrate life.

I am blessed
