Unfortunate are those
Who pass through life
Without the experience
Of meeting themselves

Perfect - a gem of a write Louis.
Many thanks, Michael!
Very true, we must know ourselves to be able to move forward in our lives.
.So true, Goldie. Moving forward is what it is all about.
Do you mean like going shopping and meeting our self, who has just done the shopping, and is returning home?!
Erm, you've not quite understood this Orchi. lol.
I suppose if one had been shopping for sherry and was sampling it on the way home that could happen. Thanks for that insight, 'O'.
Definitely a favorite, Louis!
You do have a gift of getting to the essential in a very short time (or in very few words).
Btw, any idea of what I should say when I finally meet myself? 'Hi, how do you do?' just doesn't feel right.
I think these days one would say ... "Yo, what's up bro, been a while!" Good point, Fred!
Thanks for the comment, and for making it a fav.
Wise words from a wise man. ; )
I'll pass the compliment on to my muse. Many thanks, AP!
Your muse has chosen wisely.
