Is that what non-strangers are? People we connect with? I think a lot of people I know aren't people who feel connected to me, and sometimes I feel connections and others don't. But I don't know if the universe is unpredictable. Everything has happened before and will again, and it's all happening now, too, all at once. But maybe it was unpredictable once. I don't know about beginnings, about when they begin.
