Gay Pride- Columbus, Ohio

Uncategorized 1 Minute

I met my friend Sterling at a beautiful brunch spot near North Vine in Columbus. My friendship with Sterling began in Phuket, Thailand at a group brunch where I knew only one guy- yet met the posse who then became my rock while living there. It’s a great story.

I was late to the brunch and awkwardly shy walking into a group setting but knowing I needed to take a leap to connect. I sat across the table from this guy who seemed to know everyone. I sat quietly observing. Only to later find out that he was an American, the only one at the table of about 10. And ironically from Ohio, same as me. I would never have predicted in a million years this connection.

Now finding ourselves back in the USA due to Covid, I could not let such a short distance keep us from catching up. It’s been a year since I’ve been in Phuket. And yet seems like yesterday.

Sterling and I selfie snap shot. Reunited in Columbus, Ohio. Such a small world.
Columbus showing off their pride.
I loved how the stores along High Street were showing their spirit! Every store showed rainbows in some format.
Across the street.
Admiring their creativity and use of the rainbow on their burger motifs.
This speaks to me. The upside down woman and the poetic nature of the mural placed in middle America, along a brick road, but yet in the middle of transition.
I saw this sculpture right across the street from where we were eating brunch. I had to of course take a closer look. I love that this is planted and displayed for all of us to enjoy and appreciate.
Do people appreciate the creativity of God in nature or of people around them? Or do they continue to be blind and walk right by as if no effort was made in their paths.

I'm just your average gal figuring out her way through the second half of life that decided to follow a calling to Thailand. Now back in the USA due to covid, seeking nature for further direction.
