The real reason I want to meet Jim Henson
I once read about a Native American legend that said when a respected elder died, the next baby to be born was said to carry on the spirit of that person.
which could possibly have been distorted by my memory, because i read that a long time ago and may not be remembering the details accurately.
even so, this is an interesting coincidence:
I was born exactly one minute after Jim Henson died, at 1:00 am on May 16, 1990.
i’ve always felt an affinity with him because of that fact
and it would be unspeakably cool
(although impossible, i know)
to meet him and see if we have some kind of spiritual connection.
lol. i’m not usually superstitious, please don’t send me hate mail.
