Observation

By living here I traded the prairie for the city.

English for the languages of many lands.

Dresses for saris and colorful aprons.

An all American grocery for Asian markets.

Hamburgers for sushi, macaroni and cheese for Indonesian noodles with fried egg.

A ranch style house for an apartment.

Sedate walks for dance.

Quiet parks for noisy playgrounds with people of every tribe and nation doing their thing.

A washer and dryer for a laundromat.

A car for public transportation.

Seas of waving grain for the Atlantic Ocean.

A large congregation for a mission church.

Sunsets for a sky awash in sunset colors.

A garden for a farmer’s market.

A farmer for an Elmhurst Hospital employee 😊.

Kansas kindness for NYC rudeness.

A ride to my destination for running in the rain.

A wave for being ignored.

I ♥️ New York City with its chaos, color, and crowds.
