intimately intertwined.

the smile from a stranger

the courtesy space given

by a kind driver

upon exiting a parking garage


the thankfulness that is extended

as you help a mother and her child

with their newly donned winter attire

when they pull you aside and

you give them a spare moment


letting a person with less grocery items

pass to the front


honoring their time

honoring your time

it's all good time.


loving the person who just cut you off

elder, adolescent, or newly emigrated

[don't worry someday they will have their own lanes]


civil love.
civil respect.

we are all intimately intertwined.

someday's i feel it more than others

love towards strangers is seldom recognized

but this is the love that has potential

to save the world
