I enjoyed random encounters with people. It's one of the things
I love about being online: I always find myself going into
different groups, meeting new people, getting a sense of who
they are and hearing their stories, written and unwritten. I
used to go places on Greyhound as a teenager / early 20s.
Usually meeting people from online. Loved hearing the random
person who sits next to me on the bus tell their life story.
Strangers on a plane. I think that's what they call it. Maybe
it's Strangers on a Bus. At least it was for me. Even now, I'll
be standing outside of a building like a supermarket and someone
will come up to me and start talking. I always listen and
contribute and we have a marvelous conversation. In those
moments, sometimes the 'right words' come out of my mouth and I
can see it on their faces. There was a connection. I helped.
Marvelous feeling.
