Eloquent and beautifully realized, start to "finish." Thank you, all. Reminds me that it takes very little to "see" people as we walk down the street. Kindness doesn't have to be in short supply and I am always struck how a small gift goes such a long way.
It's not rational, as you know. It's an intuition, perhaps crazy, that I could love someone and spend the rest of my life with that person. Fleeting hunches.

She really inhabits the words when she speaks, doesn't she?
Beautiful. Over 50 years ago l lived near Harvard Square. I don't remember seeing homeless people. Were there none? Or did l just not SEE them?
Good question. ☀️

You're a truth teller.
Thank you. I have often had the feeling of wanting to ask someone I don't know, "Will you marry me?"
Wow. Where does that feeling come from?

Not crazy. Some sense of recognition?
Yes, I think "some sense of recognition"--beautifully put. Thank you.
To let people know they are seen & matter 🙏 ❤️
That is an underestimated gift!
