The Lady on the Street, Most Days
I walk by a couple of things every day, most days, some days. The deli right on the corner. Someone smiling across the street. A pile of garbage. My mailbox. All these are the places and things I call home. I tend to notice these kind of things: the smiles, the garbage, the moments of the day. A woman has been hanging out on my Bushwick street. She has probably been there since long before I moved here or started noticing. But I like the fact that I walk by her every day, most days, some days.
She sits outside. I wonder what will happen when it is cold?

I like this “stop & smell the roses” kind of reminder! I know I do not take the time to live in the moment. To appreciate and engage in the things that make up our everyday lives. We should do it more often. I hear a concern for the future. Let’s all share that concern.
