Lotus flower

I am often invisible in New York City.  There is a line in my favorite book that goes something like (I'm paraphrasing)  I'm never going to be a protagonist in this story, so I may as well be an informed bystander.  I think that has offer me so much freedom to explore and experiment and contribute as a bystander, an eyewitness with the aim of blossoming in some unforeseeable future.  I can explore on my bike, in construction sites and amidst advertising campaigns, and hardly anyone takes notice.  Sometimes I will meet eye to eye with someone, and we exchange furtive, knowing glances; we are both independently on our own adventures, our own path.  And then we depart.
