Beautiful New England moments and joyful weather here
Today it was sooo warm in Philadelphia it felt like the Bay Area, even when I was out with puppy fairly late tonight. It was a sweet amazing feeling, like a plant feeling sunshine. Spring is my favorite. On the train this morning there was a lady telling really sad stories to someone on a cell phone in a really upset way and it was kinda horrible...I was thinking in the morning about how it's more responsible in one's efforts at kindness to others to be as happy as possible, because one's mood can be so contagious. So the weather helped. Isn't that fairly ridiculous?! And last night I saw this absolutely adorable video on dykestowatchoutfor.com about driving through New England. The snow, the buildings, the shadows, the sweet li'l voice of Alison thoughtfully narrating. It's so beautiful! Check it out...

Last night, walking in Berkeley, I passed a sobbing man, bent in anguish, and a laughing young girl, talking to a friend -- both within 20 feet of each other, both worlds apart in their personal realities. If only the sobbing man could have been touched by some of that laughter, but perhaps it's the sadness that directs us toward the joy, helping us appreciate the contrast between the light and the dark.
