I saw the moon rising (or setting?) on 38th Ave as I drove to work this morning, and noticed a figure stumping along with a cane on the far left side of the road, but headed in my direction. My thought at first was "I hope he doesn't have far to go" and " the sidewalks must be seriously crappy for him to chose to walk in the street" and then I thought "why don't I offer him a ride?" and as I thought that, the car ahead of me slowed down with a blinker to the right and pulled to the side of 38th street, and I was surprised and paying attention so I carefully passed and thought "She's gonna give him a ride!" and in my rear view mirror, I could see the person with the cane making their way to the pulled over car. I don't know if she knew him, or was just doing what my thought was telling me, but I just about sobbed with that human recognition of spontaneous good.
We still have it, people.
Be good to one another. And here's another view of yesterday's kitty!
