under the lanterns

Dinner with a long-lost-and-then-found childhood friend (& meeting his family for the first time) -- m.s. and i had seen each other briefly (after 25+ years of no contact) a few years ago when i was still living in Berkeley. But this was even more dramatic, since his son is older than we were when we lost contact.

I didn't take pictures of the friends, just snapped this one of strangers across the restaurant. Somehow, this felt more apropos.

Feeling the passage of time viscerally tonight.
