I walked to Metro at 8am this morning. You would think that this would be a quiet uneventful time to walk but it seemed to be the opposite.
I walked through Churchill Park and arriving on Brock St. the person walking towards me with the dog recognized me. It was one of my former students (who also was one of my TAs). He's now working as a consultant to a Mining company from his apartment in Kingston. Not ideal but he seems to be keeping well.
Then a few blocks further on I could hear someone yelling. It took me a few blocks to actually see the person. She had a mighty big voice! Everyone seemed to be more of less ignoring her as she spewed anger. I engaged her by speaking kindly to her and within a minute she was not yelling anymore. I offered to get her breakfast and she accepted. I picked up a wrap from the metro to go and an apple and some flavoured water. She seemed thankful and appreciative. A little bit of love goes a long way.
