Today in the City

The sun was shining today and hundreds of people were buzzing around Seattle. Angelika, one of the ladies that works in the wellness studio at my work passed by and we had a short conversation about how nice it is to be a part of the world in Seattle and learn from being in the City rather than just watching the news. As we parted ways, I pondered this fact some more. Since I started working in Seattle I have felt this way, but there was something about the change in weather today that made it fresh for me again. Right now, the Dalai Lama is holding a four day conference in Seattle and there are more people in the city than usual. I often people watch at the bus stop and no two conversations are the same. It was interesting hearing the Dalai Lama's name come up in conversations every couple of minutes today and how one powerful person could tie everyone of different backgrounds, cultures and walks of life together. I tried to imagine what the response would be if Jesus was speaking at the Seattle Center this week....Just some food for thought from my bus ride today.
