I was giving out flyers in the neighbourhood advertising my availability to tuition people.
Good grief. I'd never realised just how big my estate was.
It's huge. There are well over 200 houses. With an average of 2 cars and 2 bicycles (not counting little kiddy scooters and tricycles) per house. Not counting huge trampolines in the front yard, or hostile dogs.
I didn't realise there were so many kids in the vicinity, too. SO many! And yet I know not one other of them. *shakes head* It's WOW-ing if you think about it.
All that life! All packed together in one place. And yet we walk by, rush by in and out of our houses, up and down the roads, without talking to each other or getting to know each other, just focused on our own little worlds as if that's all that exists.
It was really sad when I thought about it, too. How many people do you know in your neighbourhood? Not just the guy in the grey shirt who always goes jogging on saturdays, or the red-haired lady who takes her dog for a walk in the evenings, but really, how many do you
know?
There is SO MUCH life around us. How can we not see that? See everyone rushing by, so close yet so, so far away.
