found another?”
    “ I would have.”
    Maria swallowed hard, as an intense emotion
welled up inside of her at the thought of Elon with another woman.
Shocked deeply by the emotion Maria had no choice, but to accept
that somehow she’d already welcomed a relationship with Elon before
she had even known it.
    How was it possible not to like a man who
helped clean up your puke and save face the way he had for her. He
hadn’t had to do any of that for her, but he did. She knew so
little about him and yet she knew so much. What would tomorrow
bring?

Chapter Four
Kinks of the Trade
    I watched her sipping her coffee, as we sat
at the outdoor café in the busy downtown section of the city. She
seemed somehow more at peace today, even relaxed and of course she
was always ever beautiful.
    She glanced over at me and smiled, “So
what’s next boss?”
    She had a direct way about her that spoke of
confidence. This was the Maria I was more used to.
    I gestured to the busy street scene going on
all around us, “What do you see?”
    She looked away from me and surveyed the
scene of a busy city coming to life, as the morning sun rose in the
sky sending filtered rays of light through the scattered high-rises
to touch the steaming pavement below. She took her time in her
assessment, but eventually her eyes came back to me and she said,
“The normal hustle and bustle of a city that one would expect to
see at 9 o’clock in the morning on a weekday. Why? What am I
missing?”
    I reached my hand across the table and left
it open before her, “I want you to see what I not only see, but
also perceive going on all around us.”
    She looked at my outstretched hand for a
moment and then reached hers out toward it.
    “Put the coffee cup down.” I said
softly.
    Her gaze came up to mine and she complied,
even as her outstretched hand hesitantly fitted into mine. She
jerked and her eyes flared wide, as she glanced all around us.
    “What do you feel?” I asked calmly.
    Her panicked eyes turned back to me,
“Everything! I see…… feel everything!”
    I shook my head no, “Right now it may feel
like that, but it’s not. All you’re seeing is the momentary flashes
of thought of some individuals in the crowd around us.”
    “You’re seeing more than this?” Maria asked
incredulously, as she put a hand to her forehead as if she had a
sudden headache.
    “Yes, but my mind is screening a lot of it
out. What you are seeing is my interpretation of that which is most
important in terms of either negative or positive action.”
    Maria was shaking her head as her eyes
rapidly blinked, “How do you stay sane? This is overwhelming!”
    I squeezed her hand and her eyes came back
to mine, “This isn’t the part that will drive you crazy Maria. What
will drive you crazy is if you can see what you are right now and
do nothing about it.”
    Maria’s head jerked around and she started
to rise, but I pulled her back down.
    “That man across the street he just stole
that old woman’s purse!” Maria exclaimed in frustration with me, as
she tugged at my grip on her hand.
    “Focus on me for a moment Maria.”
    Reluctantly her eyes pulled away from the
man escaping down the street with the purse, as the old woman
having realized for herself of the theft was screeching for help
from nearby passerby’s.
    “Just as it will drive you crazy to not do
anything so will it if you try to fix all the wrongs of the world.
You are only human Maria. You’re not God. Pick your battles and try
to do the most good that you can with the limited resources
available to you.”
    Maria nodded shaking slightly, as she tried
to ignore all the little terrible things that were happening all
around us that so few in the crowd were even noticing.
    A married man slipping his wedding ring off
before saying hello in a charming fashion to a younger woman he was
offering to share his taxi with.

of having a tourist look at what he was
