Every Now and Then



Every now and then, the light in a stranger's
eyes pulls at the outer threads of my mind with 
a familiar tug ...
and I wonder ...

Every now and then, an unexpected, kind word
from a complete stranger lifts a layer of
sadness from my heart ...
and I wonder ;;;

Every now and then, a warm smile from a 
passer-by penetrates my soul ...
and I wonder ...

Every now and then, a kind gesture by a stranger
restores my faith in the goodness of the human spirit ;;;
and I wonder ;;;

Every now and then, a chance encounter with a 
store clerk, a waiter or waitress, a
construction worker, a crossing guard, a bus
driver, a parking lot attendant, a mail carrier,
a volunteer, a repair person, a ticket taker,
a hot dog vendor, a stranger in any number of
forms, shapes and sizes, has all the markings of
the hand print of God ...
and I wonder ...
