thank you for your help...

helping a random stranger seem to give one more gratification than helping someone you know and someone dear to you. does it not?

i recently discovered this blog of missed connections by sophie blackball - a talented artist who captures random missed connections in new york...

Messages in bottles, smoke signals, letters written in the sand; the modern equivalents are the funny, sad, beautiful, hopeful, hopeless, poetic posts on Missed Connections websites. Every day hundreds of strangers reach out to other strangers on the strength of a glance, a smile or a blue hat. Their messages have the lifespan of a butterfly. I'm trying to pin a few of them down.
