The Next Best Thing

At some point yesterday I thought of an old friend who works at a library I used to frequent a lot but haven't been to in a long time. I wondered how he was.

During my bus journey home last night, a lot later than usual, a man sat next to me speaking on his mobile phone. He was speaking Krio, the language people speak in Sierra Leone. After he'd finished his conversation I asked him he was from Sierra Leone and he said he was. I told him I lived there as a child. We talked about areas we both knew, schools we'd attended, and politics. My friend had attended the same secondary school as my uncle.

While we were chatting I asked him his name. His name turned out to be the same as my friend at the library. I won't mention the name as I don't want to keep attracting much of the same.

It seems to me when the Universe heard my thought, It set about creating the next best thing.

Next best thing or not, it was great to link up with a "new" friend on the bus.
