Here I am, sandy : The Saint in me, during those moments when I have put on the thinking cap, The little Angel when I have put on the Halo.

 
I walk down the street and the guy waiting for the bus-who has been waiting there for God knows how long-suddenly finds something more interesting to look at than a live human being. i do the same.
Do i avoid looking a stranger in the eyes because i don't want to make him uncomfortable, or do i turn my eyes so he can't look into me?
Is there a way of seeing that does not need eyes? Is there a way of touching that does not need hands? Is there a way of loving that is beyond words and time spent, beyond prescribed greeting and reciprocity? If there is, i am ready for it now.
