Many years ago a friend and I went to see "Tommy" the movie. Before going we had driven over the Golden Gate Bridge North, and looked back at the city of San Francisco. The night was clear, the stars and lights of the city bright. Driving back for the midnight show we simultaneously made an exclamation of "Oh" or "Awh," and then looked at each other and started a conversation of "were you just thinking of", and before that>>> and before that... We had been having the same train of thought while sitting next to each other going down the streets of the city. If we are "Our thoughts" it seemed we were the same individual in two separate bodies for a while. I sort of regret I can recall the moment and our reaction to it, but the train of thoughts leading up to the exclamation which we found so profound I have not remembered.

I also had quite a personal experience one afternoon in Oakland Ca. when the Eagles played "Take it to the limit" during a day on the green concert.

Happy Trails,
ADW
