Some of the most connected times for me were when years ago I worked as a lifeline telephone counsellor. I would never know the callers names but the connection between us in the early ours of the morning was real. I felt it was really a privlige to share moments which reached far beyong the mundane to the truely numinous.

BUT! ... Through work and other commitments this in many cases (some exceptions) impossible. About twelve months ago, at church, I was introduced to a lady from New Zealand. This lady then sat with me for a couple of Sunday services then had to return to New Zealand. To this day we are still email friends. My friend is now living in Lithgow. Moral is: True friendships can come from unexpected sources.

I speak from first-hand knowledge. There really isn't a 'second of all …' but I agree wholeheartedly with your theme and the idea that blogs do not make up for a 3.5 year absence, connections are lost over time and bizarre, chance meetings happen all the time around the world … I write this as I sit next to a guy I just met in Santiago, Chile, who is from the same home town in Minnesota, USA, as I am! Bizarre. First of all, you definately have relatives in South America! I speak from first-hand knowledge.
