Seen on the train
This morning I took the Franklin Ave. shuttle from Prospect Park to Franklin Ave., where I switched to the Manhattan-bound C train. I saw a couple interesting things during this trip.
On the Shuttle there was this spilled plant in the doorway. There was dirt and soil, and two plant stalks on the ground. It was really beautiful and out of place! The plant had a large bulb attached to the bottom, like a tulip, and the stalks were long and spring green, like scallions or leeks. Interesting contrast between the spotted linoleum (vinyl?) floor and the scattered soil.
On the C, someone had stuck some slips of paper into the advertising above the seats. It was two slips of paper with distinct block letter handwriting, giving the address of the New York State Attorney General's office in downtown Manhattan, and the address of the New York Post. I wonder why!

LeahJuliaNews, or, The Stuff of Life
We decided to write about things that happen
-in a timely fashion
-to us
-and can be seen as “coincidences” or incidences of “stochasticity.”
Maybe this blog will be boring. It is, after all, “only” our lives. But we hope not—we hope in these “pages” there is to be found wonder, joy, fright, and goosebumps. It’s not only “life” on which we are reporting; it’s meaning and intention and discovery. If not co-creation, then what is the stuff of life?
