Custodians always get a lot of attention from Jonathan – he loves brooms and will say "Good job!" to anyone he sees sweeping.
Recently he and I went to a hockey game and I was shocked at how everyone just leaves behind their popcorn containers and pop cups under the seats. After the game we went to leave and the cleaning staff were getting set to start to clean up the mess. Jon rushed over to a guy with a broom, trying to "help." He was so enthusiastic. I doubt the guy got that much attention all season. 😊
Thank you. Your TwitterX feed is indeed a balm, no matter the circumstances on that day. I finally explored this Substack account. Outstanding! Thanks. Please keep on keepin on.
One of my favorite childhood memories is sitting on a bench in the mall with my mom and watching people pass by. I still love to observe and wonder and imagine the lives and stories of others. Thank you for reminding us to practice awareness everywhere … even in Costco!

I love this. I'm an observer of people too, and wonder what they're thinking, what is their story. Thanks for sharing this 💖
This is a beautiful observation about the poetics of every day life....I have loved WCW since University days and his joy in glimpsing the unnoticed.
