Thank you for the introduction to "The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows" - I love it! I do occasionally sonder and I'm so happy there is a word for it. Now and again I have wondered what opening a window into the life of a fellow traveler in life would reveal. Multiple windows opened for you in urgent care - simple encounters, beautifully told. (I hope Paul is OK...!!)
I thought about you, Cathy, as I wrote this and how you engage and connect with fellow humans within this journey of life and then write about it in your pub, Random Conversations. xx
It’s funny. I was just thinking yesterday about capturing random snippets of life in an effort to show that concept described in the opening passage of this post. We so easily become mired in our own story that we completely miss everyone else’s. But then we cross paths and, for a moment, are connected. It’s fascinating.

Aww...how nice to be thought of! We are writing on similar themes this week and I was delighted to read this!

So true! There is a rich reservoir in the idea of capturing snippets of life. xx
Good stuff
