I know! I know!
But this really happened
I posed for a photo 20 years ago and
That photo joined a host of other photos
On some website and
Some designer in Thailand
Saw me smiling or saw my long hair or
Was impressed by my soul patch and thought
This fellow should be on the glossy cover of a book
And that book was called Becoming a Master Communicator
And 15 years ago I was teaching a course on communication
And a student who was in Thailand
In a bookstore
Spotted my face on the cover of a book
Recognized my face
Took a picture of my face and sent it to me
And what are the odds on something like that?
The picture
The website
The designer
The book
The bookstore
The student
The trip
Among billions of people and trillions of books
A connection
Lightning
And this does not matter but it does give me hope
To know ridiculous things happen everyday
Are happening right now
Could happen to you
I like.
Thanks friend. I’m sure you have your share of strange but true tales.
