Ever see someone and get the feeling that you should know them? It happens to me frequently, I see someone and they somehow seem familiar. I have even had entire conversations with them and still no idea who they are. I’m not worried about that though, I’ve always felt that way it isn’t just because I’m old. Well, maybe the frequency has increased a bit but then again I have met far more people since I was younger. I have also learned to just dismiss some folks, put them completely out of mind so I’ll count that as a skill.

Now there are people that believe we have lived past lives, been here before. I’m not discounting that possibility but it seems to me if I had met those folks back then they would be very old today. Or, does that feeling come from having met those people in the past, a sort of soul sense. Is that why I don’t recognize those folks, their appearance has changed. Of course my appearance has changed too, sometimes I look in the mirror and feel like I should know that person. Seems familair.

When that happens I never speak to the person, not wanting to look foolish or crazy. I also make a conscious effort to not stare at them, also for the same reason. I don’t want to come off as some creepy old guy, maybe with dementia or something. It can be a bit unsettling to me at times, a nagging feeling. I can think of no reason that it should bother me, but it does. Am I being rude? No, I can’t be rude to someone that doesn’t even notice me, it’s only rude when it is personal. I do wonder if at least some of those folks feel the same way as I do. Do they see me but are unsure as well?

I can understand that. Well maybe there will be a grand reunion after I’m gone. My only concern there being the venue! Wonder how I should dress for that. Do you need sunscreen in heaven? I wonder if an asbestos suit would be helpful in the other place. At least there would be no concern about getting cancer in either location. But what if I’m stuck in between? What if I’m in a place where I don’t know anyone. Well, I’m not going to worry about that, almost everyone I know is likely to be there with me, in between I mean. Wonder if they will remember me?
