I don't know what raucous nonsense happened last night, possibly some drunken marmots, but Garland Ave had planters tore up this morning. The worst of it was a planter completely knocked over and the soil was all over the sidewalk. There was a young man picking up the soil by hand and putting it back into the pot, situating the flowers and making things back in order. This is not a guarantee in life that the kindness of strangers takes care of the anonymous messes of life. But when it does happen, I feel that maybe we'll all survive the madness of this world.

To the young man on the bike who took time from whatever he had planned this morning to help put Garland Ave back in order: thank you for your kindness.
