Today while walking…
I saw a man rolling a joint on the church steps. He wasn’t wearing shoes and I couldn’t imagine it because it was a little chilly outside. I also wondered where do the unhoused get marijuana and how do they know who has it?
I looked up at the same construction building to admire the progress. I must have been staring for too long because the construction workers stared back and started waving. I waved back and continued walking.
A woman offered me powdered donuts for a dollar. They were single donuts out of the package. I had to politely decline because they were in her bare hands and I also did not have a dollar.
I saw a man dancing in the park. As I got closer I realized that the song playing was Happy by Pharrell Williams. I decided to stop and dance with him for the remainder of the song. Others smiled and joined in with us. At that moment it didn’t matter who was unhoused or not. Pharrell brought us together even if it was just for a moment.
