Possibility


I used to feel so alone in the city. All those gazillion of people and then me, on the outside. Because how do you meet a new person?
I was very stumped by this for many years.

And then I realized, you just say, "Hi."
They may ignore you. Or you may marry them.
And that possibility is worth that one word.

  1. What a great post! Which one of his books did this come from? Have you read any? Any you recommend?
    I own one, but it's still unread. Perhaps I should move it up my list;)
