SOFTER-GENTLER MIEN

This evening was one of the most mundane yet truly delightful evenings I’ve spent in the city in a long time.

In heavy mist filled night air, the city possesses a softer-gentler mien.

I chose to walk to the Union Bus Terminal from the Eaton Centre. A seven block walk, full of simple pleasures, down the longest street in the world, Yonge Street.

1. The Hudson’s Bay Company is preparing for the unveiling of their Holiday window display. I’m giddy with anticipation.
2. Sharing a smile and a dollar with a homeless person.
3. Passing by a Brasserie, observing people enjoy scrumptious food and conversation.
4. Strolling down Yonge St. on a November night with temperatures around 11 °C. (52 °F)
5. Mentally replaying the day peppered with laughter and sheer nonsensical conversation.
6. Drinking a delicious strawberry-banana smoothie for dinner.
7. Being by myself in the city, yet not feeling lonely.

Most mundane, yet truly delightful.
