A group of students came back from Vietnam recently and brought me a wooden dragonfly. Nice gesture. And then yesterday someone showed me the magic - that dragonfly has talent. He can balance on his nose, and I'm not sure why this has me captivated, but it does. I can't put it down. He keeps me calm, and during two meetings yesterday, he kept them calm, too. I think it's the balance.
Renovated sections of Washington Square Park opened quietly yesterday. And this morning I took my old route to work. It was good to be back. I stopped for a moment to enjoy my coffee and watch people walk in again. They couldn't help but smile. One lady said to me "Isn't it beautiful!!"
Yes ma'am it is.
