Improbable Performance: Part One

My life has become an improbable performance. I have considered the following titles: Memory loss. Found money. Junkies digging in the garden. Generous love. Men without teeth blowing paint on the walls. Pirates in the HyperMarket. Eating raw parsnips. Children saying ‘yes.’ Weight loss. Learning to fly while staying grounded Golden-plated shopping carts. Color blooming in winter. Becoming a generous stranger.

We'll begin there:
How to become a generous stranger. Look at people you do not know and smile. Look into the eyes of someone wholly different than you, notice what you see there. Offer them a view inside yourself. Meet them one to one, equal people on this sacred and divine journey. Offer them your ear. Listen to the ache of their heart or the ache of their flesh. Listen to the pain that they carry. Really look, really listen, really hear. Consider sharing more than your ear now. What do you have to share?

Not a bad idea.

I have different things to offer at different times. Sometimes tidings of joy, other times different tidings. I would rather spread positive energy, when giving someone a fresh start.
