12/02 - Dodo finds good fortune

And he really liked my new work!  What's not to like about a jar full of candy, a blue star balloon, and a nice big desk?

 We also got a fortune that was a fortune.  Duly noted.

5/06 - Soccer Ball takes a shine to some new friends

He wanted to be shiny like the balls in the fountain, but they wanted to be free to roll like Soccer Ball. As they say, “The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence."

2/28 - Green Piggie cannot reach the pedals

Still, it was a very nice bike.

Green Piggie found some street wisdom...  Something we should all strive for, especially when there are angry birds determined to topple us.

1/21 - Redemption

“Now there is a final reason I think that Jesus says, "Love your enemies." It is this: that love has within it a redemptive power. And there is a power there that eventually transforms individuals. Just keep being friendly to that person. Just keep loving them, and they can’t stand it too long. Oh, they react in many ways in the beginning. They react with guilt feelings, and sometimes they’ll hate you a little more at that transition period, but just keep loving them. And by the power of your love, they will break down under the load. That’s love, you see. It is redemptive, and this is why Jesus says love. There’s something about love that builds up and is creative. There is something about hate that tears down and is destructive. So love your enemies."

― Martin Luther King Jr., Loving Your Enemies

12/07 - Fishie makes a fish wish

This morning, both escalators were out of service at the BART station, so everybody was trying to use the stairwell at the same time. Fishie told me that salmon have to swim upstream when it’s time to lay their eggs, which also sounds like a hard commute.

Can’t we all just get along?

10/25 - Cloud Guy and the old salt

He wanted to put a lot of salt on my lunch instead of the hot sauce I wanted.  I told him I got to pick, since it was my lunch!

Cloud Guy has a happy heart full of wisdom. No, really!  He does!  Look!

9/20 - Littlest Monkey dreams of sweet berries

It was warm in the sunshine, so Littlest Monkey curled up in the branches of a nearby bush for a nap. He was dreaming of something sweet to eat, and then when he woke up, he realized he was surrounded by berries.  Sweet.

This sidewalk elevator is very wise indeed.  Can you read what its sign says?
