Just a thought; Have you made writing on this domain an occupation or just within your spare time? Just curious..

Thank you. I surfed into your site of course, on a link from one of your very funny posts. But this is the one I really needed to read.

The feeling, hmmm… I was actually just thinking about it, not having a name for it though. I felt it a few times as a kid visiting relatives in the south, where I had a lot of cousins. We played outside and the grownups made food on the barbecue. I’ve been reading Cathy N. Davisdon’s book about Japan, *36 Views of Mount Fuji* in which she describes such an experience in a communal bath. I would love to be part of a culture that has *the feeling*.

Once upon a time in America, I was a teenage runaway. It was Easter Sunday. (not that this mattered, I don’t celebrate Easter). I was sitting on a sidewalk in front and in between a gas station and a 7-11 mini-market. It was 10 am. A shadow crept over me and I looked up to find a middle-aged man bending down to hand me a $10 bill (a couple of trips to McDonald’s on that in the 70′s). Now how did he know I hadn’t eaten in two days? That’s somebody who was part of the world, not just his own life. It made an impression on me that over 30 years later I’m still trying to be part of the world too, not just my own. Thanks buddy! And thank you for reminding me of the bigger picture, yet again.

Right on man. That’s one of the most eye opening things I’ve read in a while. At work, two weeks ago, a guy was giving out flowers for free. Not for money, not to pick up girls, but to spread a little happiness. To spread that very feeling you were talking about. For some people it made their day. for others, they flat out refused the flower. It made me sad to see people that bitter and hostile. You make an awesome point. We need more people like him and you. Take it easy man.
