January 15, 2010. Some days I just need a reminder, a sign that everything can be ok. I stopped at my library - Astor Wines & Liquors - to read labels and bring home a few. Then I walked down the street and here was a big thumbs up. The friendly smiling face stenciled on the wall, eyes straight on, assured, confident that tomorrow will be better, and letting each person who passes by know the same. I love the attention paid to the hand, the grey and black of his fingers, even more confident than his face. It emerges from the background, attached to nothing visibly, but surely attached emotionally.Saturday, January 15, 2011
JUST A REMINDER
