How To Be A Star

Fall gracefully down from the Heavens
and show your brillance in Life
as the Star that you are!
Share your light
as you guide the way
for others to follow.
Return to the Source
from whence you came
when your glow begins to fade.
And,as you have for ages
light the night sky of past,present and future
with your celestial presence !

Soul Food ?

As a fictional hoboclown detective,there isn't much that I miss.Afterall,I have a fictional reality.But this morning,I hopped off the train at the Market-East gallery in Philadelphia,PA USA and saw some unbelievable sights in the ordinary human world.While seated at a breakfast table sipping hot coffee and eating a piece of cornbread,I noticed two young women approaching the fast food counter.One was seated in an arm-powered wheelchair and the other was pushing her.The woman who was seated was talking a lot.As the pair got closer, I noticed that the woman pushing the verbose wheelchair-bound lady had a white cane with a red tip on her right wrist as she used both hands to push her friend in the wheelchair.Then, I noticed that she was gazing upward, a little to the left as she precisely navigated a right turn toward the restaurant ordering counter.She was visually-challenged but her wheelchair-bound companion was sighted and was giving directional verbal commands.'Wow!',I thought.I took a quick bite of cornbread and a quick sip of coffee as now my attention was riveted on the pair.After they paid for their purchases,the pair exited the restaurant.But something was different! While exiting,the wheelchair-bound passenger was now moving her own wheelchair,using both arms.The visually-challenged woman has transferred her cane to her left wrist while she pushed the left wheelchair grip with her left hand.Her right hand now contained a foam cup of coffee as she merely rested it on the right wheelchair grip.Their roles were almost reversed.The wheelchair-bound lady was now silently leading the visually-challenged woman to their destination.Was this triumph over adversity? Or,
an ingenious re-balancing of two different challenges? Immediately,it became obvious
that some major strengths that the two women had in common were PATIENCE and non-judgmental TOLERANCE which equalled not only PRACTICAL PROBLEM-SOLVING but a big morning boost of COURAGE and SELF-ACCOMPLISHMENT .This brief image added nourishment to my morning coffee and cornbread.It takes someone special to make a meal like
that !
