Distance

So how small is this world?

1. Someone from my SJA group knows the sister of someone I've known since elementary school.
2. My potential supervisor for next year lived in the same residence as the doc I volunteered for two years ago.
3. My cousin's girlfriend is a customer at the place where I work, and she lives just off our street.

And how big is this world?

1. Some people live only a few blocks away, but we can never find the time and opportunity to meet up.
   
2. So many times, I've been at the same place at the same time as someone else, but we never saw each other.
3. For some reason, I never accidentally run into the people that I want to see most.

So close, but so far.
