Watching The World Pass By #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek
By Mark A. Leon
I sat on a bench this afternoon in the park and watched the world pass me by. This is what I saw:
A father and son practicing lacrosse against the cement statue wall
A group of student huddled in a circle on the grass studying
A girl walking her dog or maybe the dog was walking her
Clouds moving quickly as the leaves blow in the wind
A bird and squirrel hunting for the same food
A group seeing who can throw a frisbee the furthest
A young couple watching and smiling as their daughter is experiencing the world for the first time
Two people pushing each other as they finish their jog
Someone alone under a tree with a good book
The sound of nothing in the park with the faintness of passing cars
What did you see today as you watched the world pass you by?
