I have landed in Union Square, the heart of San Francisco
California… It is a lot like Times Square the heart of Manhattan New York.
I have been here before years ago. A very cold summer in
July for my brother in laws graduation from college.
Hustle and Bustle...
Tis the season… I love the holiday vibe of the Christmas music playing everywhere
and all the shopping that is going on.
I love to people watch and there are all flavors. My faves
that stood out??? The older fit lady with the most beautiful natural looking
lavender two tone hair that had the depth like a natural looking highlight in
such a complimentary gray lavender shade. She had an average “normal”
look/haircut/curl/bob. I not only crossed her path once but twice. Not a happy
looking lady.
The other fave that stood out… the lady singing on the corner
with her ukulele… is it rude to take photos??? Not if I tip I bet… That would
have been good money spent… she had a look, she had a sound…
There are so many people… so many homeless… A flavor that I
have gotten real comfortable with working at Lahaina Harbor. Fear is the
unknown and Lahaina Harbor has educated me on the homeless… Homeless are people
that I myself have been. People that have lived a life… Everyone has a story,
it all makes sense when you hear it and know it. Young and old… Some are “Trust
Fund babies” and some are stuck on a trip in another dimension… Some are able to
build themselves back up feeling worthy/lovable regaining a sense of belonging
here on this planet... and some just disappear for everyone to wonder “Hey, what
ever happened to them”.
I have loved the unconditional love and understanding that
the Lahaina Harbor peeps show for these homeless people that are becoming so thick
amongst us it is starting to become an epidemic… everywhere.
As I roam around the city escorted by a personal “body guard”
friend, I am attracting too much attention from those homeless flavors. I
accept their sincere “sane” compliments and attempts of striking up nice
conversation that I enjoy but recognize the linger of them not wanting to end
the small talk and thank you Jamie for intervening and not allowing it to
continue. But honestly, I enjoy and love all flavors of people like a casting
of a great play.
But is what I found “crazy”… the only people that seemed to
have smiles and give eye contact were
the “crazy” and the homeless. Everyone else has a great invisible wall up.
Living on Maui I have been able to lower my invisible wall, heal
old wounds and fill my cup. My heart is so filled with happiness I don’t see
fear in allowing this happiness and love over flow to others that enter my
space no matter the flavor.
I'm enjoying my walk about so far. Im living in the moment
day by day and today was a great one.
Aloha
