Lost

As I type this, my brother is sitting somewhere freaking out. He's taking his test to get his degree as an registered nurse. It's been stressful for not only him, but for the rest of the family for the past few months. I admire him for putting up with it all. Anyway...

He dropped my little sister and I off here in Old Town Pasadena to hang out while he takes his test. The thing is, I've never been here before, and being the Caresse I am, I left my phone in his car.
So we're pretty much lost here, and... I like it.

We've been walking around for the past half hour, and we came upon these wishing trees. There are cards and pencils left at the tables, and people write down what they want to wish for and post them on the trees. I've never seen so much kindness and hope in others. I guess I'm regaining my faith in mankind.

We're going to be here for a while, but I'm sure we'll find our way sooner or later.

Yoko Ono's wishing tree, right?
That's awesome that it's inspired you in such a significant way.
Maybe it's a sign that you should get a little lost every now and then to find big truth.
