The reunion went well. I was a little apprehensive at first. It had been forty years since the last one. Name tags with pictures really filled the gaps. My rule of thumb is never to wear a name tag at a social gathering, but this time it was helpful.
The past wasn't really the topic of conversation in most cases. Life's work, number of spouses, married or un-, never really entered into most conversations. Group think mirrored Henry Ford II's statement when he was spotted out with his secretary, "Don't complain, don't explain."
Metaphysically akin to the Eastern belief, "Be here now", for we were all certainly in the present. Perhaps the biggest rush was the total sense of being "Accepted and accepting"
