It doesn’t cost a thing. Give a little love, to total strangers, to passers by, to the universe.. When there’s a string attached, the love was never real. It’s the easiest thing to do if we could see past our differences. Won’t you give a little love to your fellow human beings, or to yourself?
We had planned to take a walk together just minutes before our minor argument started. All it took was an email from our lawyer. We walked the first half of a mile in total silence. He had to take a brief break every now and then as his legs were bothering him as usual. Sensing his distress, I put my left hand on his back, supporting him and helping him move forward with my will.
He turned his face to look at me and said: “We can do it, if we set our minds to it. We’ve always had.”
I responded only with a faint smile. And we continued walking.
We decided to take a short walk together today, even though we both weren’t feeling 100% well. During his walks, I know my companion needs several breaks and to sit down on something to take a breath. A roadside large stone, utility box, or some family’s short stuccoed wall. Anything he can sit on securely.
At one point, he suddenly told me that he needed a break. There was nothing around he could sit on, so he approached a piñon tree and held onto a solid branch.
I captured this image and I said to him: “You can just hold onto me, you know..”
“I know, my Jason..” he said softly.
