There is a Chinese proverb that states that we are connected by a thin thread to every one and thing we are suppose to meet and interact with. the thread can be straight,or curved,tangled or coiled \butt it cannot be broken. There is another that says what ever you purse it also pursues you. so where are these people and things? I want to meet them
