The title encapsulates two qualities that provokes nostalgia and longing, and some pain: Old. Far Away. Like the "wabi sabi" concept in Japan of the value of things that show their past, such as a worn table nicked and scarred from the counltess meals that were prepared on its surface through the years of joy and sadness.
Add the word : Friends. Not just tables can become nicked and scarred, but so do people. Yet those very qualities show the life in our friendships. A perfect title for a Buddhist writing instructor. Just keep your hand moving, Natalie!
