You can never cross the same river twice because it's not the same river and you are not the same person. So it follows that you can never meet the same person twice. Of course there is familiarity, character traits, ideology, heritage, roots, accumulated knowledge, ephemeral impressions, and looks, but whenever people meet they are like moving trains. Even faces change. So does the gaze. Sometimes the trains move so fast that meeting someone again feels different. Intersections and collisions can happen in different timelines. That is why true friends talk about each other. Yesterday I felt so good talking and drinking wine with my buddy because we did so.
