Diamonds and Rust

Joan Baez was a master of poignant storytelling in song:

DIAMONDS AND RUST
(Words and Music by Joan Baez)

Well I’ll be damned
Here comes your ghost again
But that’s not unusual
It’s just that the moon is full
And you happened to call

That odd, goose-bump feeling just crossed me. A high school friend found me on Facebook and reconnected. At first I ha no recollection - the name was vaguely familiar but the photo was not. A half hour after an old high school graduation photo was on-line. That was 28 years ago!

I realise this is old hat to you long-time Facebook junkies. But I’ve relocated 12,500 miles from my hometown and haven’t been back in a decade. To be drawn back in a shot space is a wild ride. Beam me up, Scottie?
