Alone in the city

That weekend, and the other time he took me to NYC, I was amazed by how unfriendly people seemed as I walked along the crowded sidewalk. I kept nodding at people, and smiling, and few of them made eye contact.  I soon realized it was because of their need to maintain some form of psychological space amid the close confines in which they lived, worked, and played together. There were just so many of them, passing by with no acknowledgement of the people around them.

This place where I share my thoughts can feel that way sometimes.  Let me say that I'm glad you're here, whom- and wherever you may be.
