The man walking his dog

I'm a Youth intern at my church. And part of being a youth intern is that I do 'bible in schools' at Rotokauri School every tuesday morning, which is so much fun, even at the early hour.

And so I battle the traffic from my house over to the other side of town every tuesday, and every tuesday morning without fail I see a man walking his dog. He's quite an elderly man, in his 60s perhaps, and everytime a car drives past he waves to them. At first I assumed that he knew the people in the car he waved to, untill he waved to me. The first time i was like huh? Then I realised that he waves to every car. He waves to every person he sees driving along that country road, perhaps being the first hello of the day for most, I know he is for me. This may seem really random, and it kinda is, but he has been on my mind for a month now and I just had to get my thoughts and sightings out there.

So thankyou, man walking your dog.

You're the reason shreads of true community and genuinely good people still exist in this day and age :)
