waiting @GRK airport
Sitting here waiting at GRK airport enjoying FREE Wi-Fi, and of course, a tall cup of Starbucks coffee. Here I am sitting in the mist of a crowd of diverse people and wondering what are their stories. Right now, I am looking at a young, white pregeant lady admiring her as she rubs her belly connecting to her new life growing within her. The acts of beauty of another. Other people are being considerate as … Continue reading
