In one single stretch it’s a mad first-morning-of-the-week rush chasing then beating traffic and her feet avoiding cracks and stepping on three on narrow pavements sullied by dogs and children of all kinds and gulls and other human litterers and pub crawlers with takeaways spilled and left and wet from hanging baskets and raindrops with cars driving right next to her and her oversized bag then squeezing and swerving past each other just missing her the pedestrian-with-a-massive-heart who’s got an all-important ticket to buy for the train she must catch but You you really couldn’t see her coming towards you?

Left me breathless. We should all slow down and take the time to look at the world teeming around us. Life's too short really does have meaning.
