From a Car Window

. Just a stone’s throw away, live the people who we’ll never know We catch a glimpse into a life... A house, a barn, hard working men A vagrant walking through a field A mother takes her child to school Commuters on their way to work, They look, ...a glance. We look, ...one chance Just a stone’s throw away, live the people who we’ll never know

I really liked your take on the word "stone" here, Carrie--made me think as well, we definitely sometimes rush too much in our lives, not slowing down and trying to get to know the people who are just "a stone's throw away"-- beautiful message you give here & super congrats on your win :) hugs :)

A great, great win Carrie. So often have I wondered about the people who only brush one's existence. Could they have been meant to be more in our lives? Congratulations on your win. Love, Joyce
