There’s a park we frequent that has a 1.7 mile loop that’s sandwiched between a lake and a zoo. One of the features of the walking path is that at a certain point it passes by this mini train track that belongs to the zoo so you families and kids on field trips passing by all throughout the day. We’ve been coming to this park for a few years and it hit me today that we’ve been partaking in an almost scared tradition every time we see the train: waving.
Without any hesitation, as the train passes, the kids on the train are ALWAYS waving at whoever is passing by. Runners, walkers, people with strollers, big groups, solo people — all being waved at by these children on a train. And you know what those people do? They wave back. Every single time. Doesn’t matter what they’re doing, they wave in response to the waves they’ve been given. And the kids smile. And the people smile. And kindness is spread through this simple act of waving your hand through the air.
I waved the kids today. My daughter waved too, although I think she might have been swatting at a fly. But it was nice in that moment to see that it’s those small unspoken moments of kindness that connect us as humans. Objectively, the waving didn’t move the ‘good in the world’ needle forward at all. But subjectively I know it made some 5-year-olds day to have me wave back at them.

I overheard this conversation between two girls, where one didn’t want to lend the other a book because she liked to keep her books in mint condition (“you FOLD the corners ? Oh god no”). Like girl what ? (to each their own I guess??) surely that is the joy of books- for these pages to be passed around, shared, worn and tattered. For stories to be read and re-read, each time with new rips in the page or the ever satisfying feeling of folding a corner. Scars of your journey with the story.
I want the book to FEEL how much I loved reading it. To be loved is to be changed !! i will happily crack the spine of this fine novel and enjoy it !! Read it and weep sad book girl 🤚🏻
