Hi 5
I was doing my regular evening walk in the neighborhood, when three boys on scooters turned a corner and were passing by like a storm. All of a sudden, one of them, about my son's age, deviated from his path and came straight to me as if he knew me for years. An all smiling face with freckled cheeks, curly bangs, and glasses, asking exuberantly for hi 5... Oookaay... hi 5 ✋... alright... dude... Then he rejoined his group and gone he was. I had an urge to look in the mirror after he treated me like one of his... Heart of a kid... Not being afraid to interact with strangers. Refreshingly human, natural, normal... He reactivated something in me I may have forgotten, and I was a kid too, as if just going in the street to have fun with my buddies. And it was wonderful! Especially since these days there is more talk about Resurrection...
