10/29: a coincidence

I've been listening to The Constant Nymph by Margaret Kennedy, and yesterday I reached a part that described all the sounds that could be heard at a particular time and place.  This morning Chris mentioned that he was thinking of doing a mindful listening activity in which he would ask his students to list all the things they could hear while no one in the class was talking.  I mentioned the passage from The Constant Nymph, and Chris said that he knew that passage too!  It's not a likely book for Chris to have read, and it's just luck that I'm listening to it now and reached that specific part when I did.  I felt like I travelled to a foreign city and unexpectedly saw a friend from home walking down the street.
