#strangers
frolicking in Venice beach yesterday when a stranger stopped me and goes “woah, I thought you were a friend of mine from the 60’s.”

Isn’t it funny
how you once were the first person
I turned to
and now we are strangers
not even greeting each other anymore
One day at a time, this is enough. Life is full of beauty. Notice the bumble bee, smell the rain, and feel the wind. Do not grieve over the past for it is gone. Do not be troubled about the future, for it has not yet come. Live in the present, and make it so beautiful it will be worth remembering.

“These Strangers, in a foreign World,
Protection asked of me—
Befriend them, lest Yourself in Heaven
Be found a Refugee—“
“These Strangers, in a foreign World,” The Complete Poems of Emily Dickinson — ed. Thomas H. Johnson
She never thought they would become strangers. How did two people who grew up together become strangers? They learned to play together, to roller-skate together, and to spend endless nights together running around. She guesses part of the reason she hates running is that it reminds her of him. It reminds her of the sleepless nights spent running around, playing hide and seek. It reminds her of the unfinished monopoly matches and, it sucks because she can’t do anything about it. After all, it’s too late. Thus it all crumbled, and she just stood there obliviously watching the fire burn it while wondering about the reason for the ashes.
Shizuka Yokomizo - Dear Stranger (1998-2000)
“Dear Stranger, I am an artist working on a photographic project which involves people I do not know. I would like to take a photograph of you standing in your front room from the street in the evening. A camera will be set outside the window on the street. If you do not mind being photographed, please stand in the room and look into the camera through the window for 10 minutes on __-__-__ (date and time)…I will take your picture and then leave.
We will remain strangers to each other.
If you do not want to get involved, please simply draw your curtains to show your refusal.
I really hope to see you from the window
signed, Artist.”

BE GOOD
During the week James is an auto-mechanic, but on the side he fixes and sells used vacuum cleaners on the weekends.
He can be found peddling his wares at the corner of Crenshaw and Exposition in Los Angeles every Saturday morning.
