Why am I the one observing what is going on around me? Because everyone else is walking and talking and texting and looking at their phones and not only about to walk into me, but are not seeing the events and people that I am seeing because I am not walking and texting and talking. When I once traveled across the States by train with a small child, I remember saying, rather continiously, ‘look out the window’. Another, smaller boy, with red hair and freckles [which has nothing to do with anything except I can still see him in my mind’s eye] asked, why do you keep saying that? I explained I wanted the other small child to be aware of his surroundings and see things he hadn’t seen before. Oh well….
