Stranger

Walking from my apartment to work and it's half an hour earlier.


I like to leave home earlier, so that whenever I met some friends on the way, there will be enough time greeting and talking.




When I passing by the Jefferson Hall, there was a guy sitting by the corner, with the hat covering more than half of the lowered face.


He was crouching there, silently, without anyone's attention.


He might be just taking the nap in that shade, or thinking about the paper at class, or even day dreaming.




"Go and say hi to him."


Why? I don't speak to stranger. Some unpleasant memory of male strangers showed in my head.


"Just go".




I passed him, hesitating, and then walked back. I kneeled down, talking to him, though I felt really awkward.


"Hi, are you ok?"


He raised his head, "yes, I am ok. "


I saw the tears and desperation from his eyes. That's not a ok person's face. "You sure? Do you want some Gummy Bear candies? It will make you feel better and everything will be ok."


I get my Gummy Bear candies from my bag, gave him a handful candies.


He looked at me, with appreciation and surprise. I am from Germany.


Shocked…amazed…coincidence? Nope…glad I didn't walk away without paying attention. "Hope you have a great day! God Loves You, brother."






I never shared this with my friend, it is too strange to tell my friend. But I do want more of this kind of miracles happening in future so that I can get used to them and share with friends freely.


Anyways, I had really a great day.
