My wife Cathy just drew my attention to some 'Pics & Prose' by someone by the name of Carol Jo Horn. Within it are the following lines which seem to sum up so well the very heart of the recent topics & threads we Corfidians have talked about. Anyone here know about her?.... a Corfidian herself perhaps?

Brilliant!

In Science Fiction people
sometimes step from
one dimension
into another
and find themselves back in time
or into the future.

Recently
when a friend set needle to vinyl for me,
an old 1972 Gordon Lightfoot song pried open
a hidden door to 30 long years ago.

My heart dissolved into tears
that had been kept locked away
behind the dam of forgetting.
In startled confusion
I faced my friend and saw the same hot tears.

A smile,
A nod,
Our bond, begun in grade school,
tightened.
We sat,
quietly watching memories
dance before us
to the music of Gordon Lightfoot.

A Corfidian perhaps? I think thats a distinct possiblity!
Thanks Yuri and Cathy!
Before I hit the "Add Reply" button, I've re-read the poem a couple of times... it says more each time I read it!
