Toward Ecosophy

I know someone who was born within five minutes of me on the same day, at the same hospital, and we do in fact having remarkably rhyming lives. We lost our virginity within a month of each other (to, oddly enough, sisters); we had truly miserable high school experiences; we both wound up dealing with a truly horrific break up at the same time. The details weren't exactly the same, but they both involved a partner cheating on us. The truly weird one though was the fact we both had a chance to go on a very unexpected trip to another country; despite not having spoken to each other in years, we both wound on the same flight to Heathrow (him going to Ethiopia, me to India), and we ended up on the same flight home from Heathrow, about a month earlier than either of us had planned, having had to cut our trip short for health reasons...
