My Sunday Afternoon Walk

This is Harmony. I was walking down the sidewalk and a white rock went whizzing by my nose. I looked over idly to see where it had come from. I saw this little girl over the fence. I asked her curiously if she had thrown a rock at me. She looked both excited and and scared and nodded. I asked her if I could take a picture of her and she nodded again. Pretty soon we were friends. She asked me if I was going to come by her house again. I said that if I did we would talk. She said she would probably forget my name. I told her she could just ask me and I would tell her. She said I would probably forget her name. So just to be on the safe side we said good-bye to each other by name until I was out of sight.
Farther down the path I came across several soul soothing messages some people had left behind. I captured and brought them to my computer for you to enjoy.












I guess there are lots of ways people reach out to connect with casual passersby. Some throw rocks at their head while others write messages down messages for them to read later. Personally, I think the rock method was more direct and effective in getting me to slow down and listen.
