Not drowning, waving

Ever have that thing where you're upset and somone might just give you a wave, or a smile, or even just a 'Have a nice day' at the check out, and you feel better? The kind of thing that makes you realise that even though you might not ever be able to communicate to someone exactly how you're feeling, and even if you could, they couldn't fix it, but that they've just shown you that you do live in a world with other humans out there, and we're all just wandering around together and that makes us all colleagues, or family, or friends in some strange way. Just someone being human next to you.

Thanks to everyone who gave me a wave (metaphorical or otherwise).

Turns out the sinking sand has turned solid, someone put a signpost up nearby to Mount Sinai, and the black clouds have mostly blown away. Thanks for bearnig with me during this break in transmission ;-)
