Continuity

There I was, sitting on the downtown D train, completely transfixed by Steve Reich’s “Electric Guitar Phase,”  when a man walked toward me handing out fliers. I caught a glimpse of one and had to take one.

This may look familiar if you happened to read a post in July 2011, Why Is This Pinned to My Corkboard, Part 5.

I found this on the seat of a subway car many, many, MANY years ago. To coin a phrase, “It spoke to me.”

The messages here, delivered more than ten years, apart, are identical, except for the names and addresses! I like to think Teresa is following in  Rev. John’s footsteps, tapping the same mysterious source — after all, this speaks to the film’s theme — and not a plagiarist.

I missed my stop, by the way.

UPDATE: During spring cleaning I found a flyer with the same text dating back to the 20th Century, this time the advisor was Sister Ann.
