Thank you so much Terry, for your writing.

You report exactly how this « serenpidity », started, with this feeling of immediate and mutual understanding which lasts, 4 years later.

We shared a great moment in this tiny Nepalese restaurant with you and Karen, and each time we had the chance to meet again.

As you write, we share something « deeper », a precious, relationship hard to explain. Friendship probably…!

And thank you again for your amazing OPPOSABLE.
