The Kindness of Strangers.
As a friend once told me: 'this is a pain planet'. After the last two weeks, this proposition seems like a good contention...a good argument.
Met a woman last weekend who had been slammed into by a tram (straight-on) and lived...when all observed, 'they' said the woman would never walk again; she's out there every day, in pain, getting that damn leg to work again.
And its only been a month!
The power of the Will over the Body IS astounding! (It is the following individual who has made it possible).
On the same weekend, met a man, whose taken upon himself to ensure those around him survive, do well despite the pain in their particular lives...
He's gathered a small group who are loyal and know he would do everything in his power to help them.
How can I describe this individual?
A man who has decided to live life minute by minute and ensure those around him LOVE life...like he does.
Liven on a prayer.
Loving everything but there is a difference, he's been there...living in one's car for six months, playing guitar, singing...to eat, will and does change one's view of the world.
Giving and receiving when one's life really depends on it.
This great dude is now living his dream...creating a place where people can love and be merry.
I guess this is a 'pain planet', but there are those around that make us see the minute by minute happiness of this existence; the simple pleasures of life itself...is ten times worth the pain.
'The Kindness of Strangers."
