Not so hard to be a saint in the city

You can drive down a street 100 times and never see  something and then one day… BAM, there is the most extraordinary finding.

Down by Battery Park hangs this sign. Shrine of the Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton, first American born saint. Quite a gig, huh? She was pretty cool, check out her Wikipedia page

So, what exactly, is my point? To get you all to take a look around and notice your world. I bet there are some amazing things that you pass everyday but you are too busy worrying about ‘what’s next’ to see ‘what’s here’.

Hmmm… Philosophical Thursday? Nah, has a weird ring to it.

  1. If you look around Orange County … a real close look … I’m sure you’ll find a sign somewhere saying there’s a shrine to Saint Twenty Four At Heart.

  2. Thank goodness. I can’t keep up with crying on Tues, bursting bubbles on Wed and philosophizing on Thurs. By the time the weekend rolls around – I’ll be spent. 😉

  3. It happens to me all the time – new things to see everywhere. It all depends on the POV of the day. Cool stuff.

    And you ride the line of balance and hold on by just a thread. Nice observation to take in what’s around us.
