The other day I had a call from my very first friend in this world.

She had returned to New Zealand to be with her dying father.

I was 6 years old when I first became aware of her. Even at that age she had dimensions of personality that made the other kids in our class appear a little dull.

We spent a childhood together.

At 15 we became lovers.

Perhaps a year later I left her for a poet.

It was not my finest hour but the poet introduced me to another woman who would also become significant in my life ... and so it goes.

The other day I had a phone call from this lover from the past.

Her father is dying.

She wants to give me one of his cameras ...

I choose the Olympus Trip 35, now considered a bit of a cult film camera.

She has it serviced and sent to me.

"You owe me lunch." she said.

"I do." I replied

And then I thanked her for our shared youth together.

It meant a lot to me.
