I was at the South Street Seaport, watching all the tourists and listening to their European tongues and I saw him standing up against a door. I debated with myself for about 5 minutes before I walked up to him and asked if I could take his picture. He kindly replied that I could and afterwards, as I was thanking him for the photo, we started talking. We talked for 45 minutes about his life and my life and what he has learned over his 84 years on earth. Being filled with his life made me feel not like I was on the top of the world looking around at everyone else but that I was the world itself, holding everyone on it inside of me. The wisdom I was imparted with is invaluable and his story and his blue blue eyes are something I cannot forget.
and just before Barclay's and my path crossed, I saw this on the 2 train
