This is the season many get nostalgic about family and friends from their past, whether they chose to or synchronicities prevail. Sometimes peering through that Looking Glass has a positive result and other times not so much, but always it is for a reason. For me it's all about fun.
The avalanche of friends from my High School days continues, diverting my attention from the dramas of the world to something I can connect with. Though most have moved to the east coast of Florida, either full or part time, a few remain in NY.
How many Lincoln High School friends named Linda have surfaced? More than I can count. All went to college choosing careers in education in one form or another. My latest Facebook connection, Linda Zaccaro, with a "Z", added a few new synchronicities to the equation. She is another Aquarian, two weeks older than me, so of course our grids would synchronize in many ways as two nice Jewish girls from Brooklyn made it through life without drugs, drinking, or mental illness.
Here's an interesting new twist ... Linda and I attended elementary school PS 80 in Coney Island. Some of you may recall my history with that area, too lengthy to discuss, but magical. She remembers her best friend as Susan Alexrod which takes me full circle to these three files linked to my past.
In High School Linda and I studied art and theater with the same teachers, went on to different colleges, became teachers and sought out artistic pursuits. Linda married and raised a family not far from an area my deceased husband Ralph and I thought about buying a home, yet something has always tied me here to Brooklyn. Ralph moved to Long Island after our divorce. If I had not moved to my current apartment by the water, I'm sure i would have been long gone but not to Florida as I don't connect.
Unlike the other friends from my past, Linda explored metaphysics back in the day when it was trendy, but with a different destiny than mine. She walked away from metaphysics for the same reasons I never connected - too many unstable people and too much drama resulting in the "plateau" feeling ... until we met again on Friday discussing reality from my perspective, something she plans to explore.
In another twist, 14 years ago Linda and her niece Tesa made appointments with me but were unable to keep them. Linda remembered my name but didn't associate me with the girl she went to school with until she saw that Tesa and I are friends on Facebook and we both joined a group for former Lincoln High School students. Tesa followed the path of Reiki and Hypnotherapy now living not far from my daughter Nikki in Westport, CT.

A broken Video Card looks like The Matrix
This is what I saw when I tried to connect my backup monitor.

As Linda and I talked on the phone, she asked about the hologram and what happens when everything "Fades to Black". As I started to explain ... as if I said the magic words "FADE TO BLACK," my computer monitor went to black and died, startling me at the synchronicity of it all. The monitor returned to real-time for about one minute, then faded to black a second time. This repeated a third and final time as if symbolic of third dimension then all was gone ... message received, over and OUT! The Video Card was destroyed along with the old monitor both of which were replaced by Monday December 4, 2017.
In the interim Linda and I had a reunion ...
Tuesday, November 28, 2017
On another gorgeous fall day, I headed east to Long Island from my home in Brooklyn. Entering the Belt Parkway, I turned on the Waze app and noticed that there was traffic along much of the route, so I turned on the news just as the announcer said, "It's 11:11", which signaled to me that this was going to be a special day. It did not disappoint. Not wanting to fill my ride with current events, I pushed the CD button and listened to oldies all the way to my destination.
Driving west from Babylon, Long Island, my friend Linda headed towards our rendezvous at the Olive Garden in Valley Stream, a halfway point for us. We had rekindled our friendship through the Lincoln Hugh School Facebook group earlier this month and decided it was time for a reunion.
Linda and I not only went to high school together but also to elementary school and that's not easy to find in a world where most people our age have moved away or moved on. Often I think I'm the last graduate from the Abraham Lincoln High School class of 1960, who remains in Brooklyn.
Linda and I were both born in February 1943 and are Aquarians. Much to our surprise we both wore purple and black. The more we get to know each other the more parallels we find. On this day our reunion was very special and we look forward to meeting again in the spring when she returns after a three-month stay in that place most New Yorkers go, especially seniors, the East Coast of Florida. We plan to keep in touch by phone and email because girls just wanna have fun.
... And salad ...
Linda brought me an amethyst crystal
L'Chaim .... To life ...
