Invisible Paths

  London is a village
How many times has it happened to me that I have met friends randomly in London? Quite a lot.
Today was another of those great moments of awe at the thought of meeting someone so unexpectedly. I was waiting for my father who came to visit this weekend in Liverpool Street Station, and was looking at all the people coming off the train, trying to find him. Then I saw a guy with blond hair, kind of sticking to the front, and somehow had the feeling he looked like... and then he looked at me with light blue eyes, and at that one instant, just a split of a second, I knew that it was mutual recognition... the guy not only looked like, but actually was Brodie from AI! How fun!
While we were chatting, my Dad arrived, and now Brodie is the first AIESECer ever to have met my father!
What a strange village London is.

... Arriving at each new city, the traveler finds again a past of his that he did not know he had: the foreigness of what you no longer are or no longer possess lies in wait for you in foreign, unpossessed places... (Italo Calvino)
