exchange

 

me: "hello, how are you"

him: "i am so tired"

it was 1am and i was buying some chocolate

kisses for my train ride home at grand central's

temporary hudson news stand.

"i want to go home and go to sleep", he continued...

so i showed him my mehndi and asked if

he could read what it said...

he replied, "i'm not from india, i'm from pakistan"

a few more exchanges went on...

he asked: "can i see your other hand?"

i showed it to him and he took out his pen and 

wrote this on top of ganesh

 he said it as he wrote it:

"this is urdu, - love - in pakistani"...

i offered him a chocolate kiss, he declined...

then i offered some to the police officers

standing around talking to each other.

and they declined too... and one of them

looked at me as if i was a bit crazy.

sometimes it's so hard to know

what to do with all of this love...

namaste,

the weird love filled hippy chick

trying to spread some good vibes:)
