Hello my friend.<\/p>\n
How are you today?<\/p>\n
Did you get up this morning with a jolt of expectation, a glimmer of hope?<\/p>\n
Or did you open your eyes only to realize that life is knocking impatiently on your door again, and you\u2019d rather keep it closed?<\/p>\n
Did you watch a kid play in the garden, led by invisible strings of joy?<\/p>\n
And how did that feel: beautiful?<\/p>\n
Painful?<\/p>\n
Did you taste a slice of bread and a sip of hot tea?<\/p>\n
Did you argue with your partner, worry about tomorrow or kiss a frog, or did you rest your tired face against the cold glass of a window for some relief?<\/p>\n
Did you see the sun, shining through the clouds like a message from God or the universe?<\/p>\n
And what did you do when the stranger on the street smiled at you?<\/p>\n
I am not steering you to a grand conclusion here, I\u2019m not trying to let you do anything, pick you up and rub your face in the unseen awesomeness of life.<\/p>\n
This is a day, a day in our lives, and we have quite a few of them, and everything that happens is as wrong or right as you perceive it to be.<\/p>\n
This is a blog, just a little blog, and there are millions and millions of them.<\/p>\n
And I was thinking about you, just now.<\/p>\n
I have no idea how you feel or where you\u2019re going, but I\u2019d like to know.<\/p>\n
So here\u2019s me, smiling at you.<\/p>\n
Here are my arms, wide open.<\/p>\n
Hello my friend.<\/p>\n
