A Left Instead...

Published by: Wali on 17th Feb 2010 | View all blogs by Wali

It was a relatively nice day here in New York City. So I figure I'd start my day a little bit earlier by going the long way to the subway. Instead of the right turn as soon as I leave the building, like I've been doing for the past 4 years, I decided to take a left turn. I have to admit, just by going in the opposite direction gave me a sense of freedom.
And so, with this liberating feeling, it seemed like everything was new to me. I noticed children playing across the street. I realized that there weren't as many cars passing on the road. I was even saying, "Hello" or "Good morning" or "Nice day, huh?" to the people I passed by. 
And then, I saw a new bakery and they sold my favorite of all things to eat, chocolate chip cookies! I bought 2 cookies and enjoyed them as I finished my journey to the A train.
This story isn’t just about the children or the lack of cars or even the cookies. 
It’s about that feeling I felt while noticing those things. It was just by simply deciding and taking that left turn.
