We met at a time when I was letting go of the past, and was open to the idea of changing myself. She didn’t know it, but She was the person I always wanted to know; I didn’t realize it either.

Living near her makes me even more open to changing who I am. It’s like a constant journey away from my home village, every day experiencing a new culture and making new associations against what I thought I knew.

Maybe one day I’ll be so old that I’ll forget everything about who I was, and everything will be new again. I look forward to talking with Her about it.
