If you ever stepped outside your body; what did you see?
I saw a senior woman standing there, struggling to walk, careful to look where she stepped. She looked up, noticed me staring, and said, “Do I know you?”
I thought what a puzzle.
Question…Did you ever?
You really describe a lot of us who are moving on up in age. Loved the ending. I would say, “No don’t think I remember you!”

Oh yes! Just described me to a tee – and I have seen her. Puzzle is how did I get here so soon?

I like the “do I know you question”.

Interesting question ❤ If I were to step out I would probably see a half mad and passionate writer struggling to fit into society 😅

Ah….for me, this brought the idea of standing in front of the mirror some days and thinking, “How did you come along?”

I think this comes from time to time… seeing yourself as others do maybe.

That would be an interesting puzzle to contemplate!

It makes me imagine what might have transpired after that interaction. Everyone has a story. I think about how much we could learn from each other…we are all puzzles, I suppose.
