beautiful day in montreal today. i went to a 2 hour yoga class in the park (almost impossible to concentrate but at least my spine feels aligned). I breathed in *hope*, out *grief*. Then i ran errands all over town on my bike. I probably saw 2000 babies and young children, and each one felt like a tiny stab in my heart. Also 5000 couples holding hands. I am glad everyone is so happy out there in the sunshine.

I saw a kind of scruffy just-above-homeless older dude (maybe in his fifties) on a beater bike carrying a huge box of Pampers and i blinked twice. Double checked and it was definitely a box of Pampers. I mentally reminded myself that I shouldn't judge people on their appearances. But then as i biked by him the box of Pampers clinked and it was full of bottles and cans he's going to return for a deposit, and I can judge people all i want.
