A Stranger Passing By

A stranger passing by in an instant, doors open and closing people come and go un-noticed moving in ways so customary ignored by the very people coming and going. how many times has a stranger passed unnoticed? how many times has a stranger passed consumed by fear? how many times has a stranger passed without language to speak? how many times has a stranger passed unconscious of sounds? how many times has a stranger passed suffering and alone? how many times has a stranger passed people who were coming and going? passing, un-noticing, consumed with fears without language to speak, unconscious to sound, suffering, alone and the stranger they passed…. was you?

We all have been strangers and we've all passed one another. Your message preaches a lot.

Thank you for your comments. I wonder about people passing by and what is happening in their lives? what are they dealing with? Life is fascinating. Thanks again. Don't be a stranger.
