1976.0. "We've met before, haven't we?" by NPSS::CREEGAN () Wed Jul 27 1994 19:34

Just an interesting story...

One of my classmates in college looked very familiar,
finally I approached her and asked her if she was from
my hometown.  Yes, she was and I looked familiar to her,
too!  Oh good, now we needed to figure out how we had 
bumped into each other in the past.

	She wasn't from my section of the city
	(population 90,000+)

	I went to private school, she went to
	public school.

	She didn't go to the same summer camps or
	after school programs while we were kids
	(girl scouts, YWCA, etc.)

	She didn't belong to the same religion
	so we didn't bump into each other at
	a church affair.

	We'd never worked for the same people or
	business'.

	Well, we exhausted everything we could think
	of jointly.  Finally I said I was born on
	April 15th at Lowell General Hospital, how
	about you?  Her mouth dropped, she was born
	at Lowell General Hospital on April 14th.

	WE WERE CRIB-MATES!  That was the only thing
	in common we could find.  We laughed and I
	told her we probably were staring at each 
	other through those glass bassinets because
	we were bored and had nothing else to do.

    That's great!!!
    
    I actually found a person I was hospital cribmates with too - he 
    and I met as teenagers while doing youth volunteer work.  We lived 
    in separate but adjoining towns, different schools.  Birthdays one 
    day apart, same hospital.  We did not have the same 'recognition'
    of each other that you did though.

    What fun it was read your story!  I live in Sunnyvale CA and I am
    from Lowell, MA. Sure, I believe this!  Nothing is by chance! I met
    a man recently on a trip to Brazil. He was from Iceland... and
    we both agreed we knew each other "before"...long story...but
    fascinating!

1976.4The Celestine Prophecy...POWDML::RAMSAYMon Sep 12 1994 19:2712
    In The Celestine Prophecy, which I'm currently reading and rereading,
    it says that people who look familiar are part of our same thought
    group.  It also says that when two people's/strangers' eyes meet, one
    has a message for the other.
    
    And further, it says that every single person that comes into our
    lives for however long (even for a moment) has a message for us and
    we would do well to find out what the message is.
    
    Interesting food for thought.
