Growing up in small town Bellevue, I would ride my bike a mile or two to get milk or bread. Sometimes I would forget the money at home or drop a quarter, and the store always sent me home with what we needed and mom settled up the next time she was in. I never feared traveling without my mom. I knew when to be home and where I was allowed to go. And didn’t change course without her knowing. (can you believe we did this without email, text messages or cell phones?) LOL
I wonder if anyone would allow children to travel 1-2 miles on a bike today, alone? Would a store send a child home without full payment? I find comfort knowing I experienced life during a time that life was like that… safe, happy, community, predictable.
I know that times change, people change, I get that. I think it would be nice if we could maintain a type of world that would allow for those same experiences for others.
I CAN BE THE CHANGE I SEEK IN THIS WORLD… I can remember that I am a reflection of my community just as my community mirrors who lives in it.
