Ok, so there I am on Saturday, meeting new people at a spiritual learning class. And afterwards, five of us, my wife included, decide to have pizza and wind up shooting the shit until late into the morning.
And it comes out: one of the women whom I just met spent 18 months in Straight, Inc., just before that bastard Newton left, and we have the same set of experiences and same ongoing disgust for what happened to us and the people around us. And now, 20 years later and 3000 miles away, it was present for us agian. It sucks, but it is also really good we have that connection. Sometimes, feeling that old pain and realizing that it is over and we are free is really nice.
Just strange.
