thinking on the last fifteen years of my life like a child staring at his face for the first time through the reflection he finds in the pond at the park - i begin to muse...
we [the child and i] are both amazed to find ourselves here.
i was able to devour the most wonderful wednesday through sunday i had in a long time. i spent most days wandering the streets of midtown new york city, stopping to take a picture approximately every half block (or something like that ...) as there are so many wonderful works of art to capture there. i didn't even possess the strength necessary to take a photo of every single thing i'd like to ... which is why i need to visit there more often.
so many hearts to touch everywhere - but new york city sticks out in my mind right now, as i've just returned from that very place this evening. the simple smile i would flash at someone who looked a little grey made me want to make people happy forever. you could tell that a smile is a rarity among all the drab, grab-the-subway kinda life they're so used to. they would go from mean to nice in about 0.999 seconds, all because an unsuspecting pedestrian flashed a common courtesy when shuffling by in all the walking traffic.
my heart needs touching, but has had the privilege of posessing many fingerprints of others that care for me. others do not have the same fortunate opportunity i do.
what could i do that would make a positive impression on those that need one? and we all need one. what could i do for someone that would be eternal?
