"to the fellow from Islands who is grilling Coconuts every Friday on the Street... as I walk to the Train and this is what he hollers to me as I walk..yup he hollers wisdom to the strange nurse in the white scrubs....Coconuts being grilled on the street -the smell is amazing....so every Friday I walk to the train...( I take the bus in the morn...and train home...) yes it is still a Temp job...and it could end tomorrow...I have to make peace with how things are...I am working with HIV/AIDS patients again and yes some Vets and Homeless too....and teaching about Diseases and condoms...and helping people know their bodies and their diseases ..trying to empower them...

The Twin Tower Lights...

Dear NYC....I love you...I am so sorry you lost the beautiful Twin Towers...George Bush used to say that 3000 Americans died that day, but the real Truth is the best part of NYC is that there are people from all over the world ....and that day people died from many different countries and not all of them were American...and yes even Muslims died that day...and rarely does anyone mention that....I don't think this day is about Liberty or Patriotism, even though for years that was laid upon Americans and New Yorkers...it is a sad day to remember what was Lost....so much Trust...so many civil liberties....and it led to a decade of war and horrible war crimes...I think it should remind us who we are and that when good lives are lost, there are no bombs or prison camps that can bring them back...and that there are times when Americans should stand up for Peace and still be thought of as Patriotic....New Yorkers I love you and your fearless courage, your hope, your tenacity and your strength....When I see the Blue Lights in the Sky I know that there are many Angels giving you more strength....( Photo taken at 9PM from my roof Brooklyn...)

Bird in the Hand....

Sometimes when you least expect it...you get to hold magic in your hand...the smallest treasure can make your heart swell...this little fella needed some warmth and a bit of help the other morning at the bus stop....and then he flew off proudly showing us his new skills....the three of us shared his joy and felt proud as he took his first flight.....Have a good week..look for the unexpected...and treasure even the smallest joys....
