LIGHT

As I was driving today, something caught my eye passing through the crosswalk. I've seen backpacks and people and people and backpacks, but I have never seen a person walking with a backpack with the word "LIGHT" in black sharpie boldly displayed across a puke green backpack. I don't know anything about the person, but for that moment and the few that followed, I felt like I learned something about that person that was way deeper than a 10, maybe 20, possibly 30 minute conversation. I felt as though that person was communicating their desire and resolve for more of it. A desire to see things become and to be made clear. It was a very encouraging moment. I would venture to say it was a slice of hope served in a very obscure moment that could have been missed. I hope for more.
