Lauren and I met at Starbucks before volleyball and took a seat next to a table of three friends who were knitting and drinking coffee. I instantly smiled upon seeing them laughing, talking, knitting, sipping coffee - purely enjoying each other and the simple things in life. Perhaps I was feeling especially sensitve after just hearing the remarkable news of a dwilding cancer and truly appreciating the meaningful things in life. I kept admiring them and smiling until I finally got the courage to ask them if I could take their photo. I, of course, explained to them my 2010 project and they were nothing but friendly and accommodating. You never know the influence a stranger can have on another. In this case, these three strangers made me content for that moment and hopefully one day I will unknowingly pass on to others too.
Well, being one of the knitters, I can tell you that I am so inspired by your project and totally thrilled to even be part of it! Wanna join us sometime? :)
