BE LOVE…
I adore this story, from Jennifer Pastiloff. Wonderful.

I just came to the library to write. I see this man standing and looking at some books. He has a sign on his chest that says "Be Love." I ask him if I can take a picture and he happily obliges. I turn around to get some money in my wallet (he's homeless, that much is evident. There are a lot of homeless that hang out at the Santa Monica library.) I turn back around and he's taken the sign off. "Pictures free" he says "but you have to wear this for 2 hours. I'm David, what's your name?" I ask him to tie it around my neck. He says if anyone asks me what it's about to tell them "It's a demand." I gave him a hug and two bucks and went up the stairs to write. The smiles I got as I walked to my little table by the window. Be love, be love, be love. Part of my book talks about the messengers in our lives. David was one such messenger indeed. Be love. Pass it on.
With love, from the @[44620562625:274:Santa Monica Public Library]

ps, he'd also never taken a pic with an iPhone before and the pic of me was his first one ever. Pretty pretty good.
