On Wednesday morning, on my way to work, a young man - likely a UofT student - said to me as we both ascended the stairs at Queen's Park station, "nice day, eh?!"
His voice had the sense of someone who's been waiting a long time to say that - after all the rain we've had this summer, I know how he feels.
The moment he spoke those words I realized I had been completely absorbed in my self. His words shattered that cocoon and brought the outside world to my attention. It occurred to me how easy it is to become caught up in my own mind.
I was grateful for the 'awakening,' I replied, "it certainly is!"
