I went through six airport in three days this past weekend. What struck me was not how different we all are from one another... but how alike we are.
I could look around and see folks who remind me of ... me. And I am a pretty unusual looking gal. Then I saw someone who acted a lot like my mom... then one who was all helpful and sweet like some of the gals in Alanon. Next thing you know, I was giving folks "labels" of other folks I know who they remind me of.... or who remind me of how I USED to be .... or still COULD be.
It occured to me right in the middle of this that we are MUCH more alike than different.
I wonder how many others were thinking the very same thing as they waited in line, watching me watch them watching me....
El Gato... you weren't hanging around in Portland, or Chigaco or Columbus last weekend, were you? Lots of folks there who looked a little "out of place". Just like me.
