Sandy Bell, the Flower Man
Naikan exercise on strangers:
Pick a stranger, and notice something they have done for you or given you. Without possibly even knowing their name, write them a Thank You card, giving specific thanks for something they did.
Sandy the Flower Man is a bit more than a stranger in my mind, and the more I work on his upcoming benefit at JJ's Bohemia, the more I see him as a celebrity! However, Sandy is a person I run into around town who is always giving. At times when I have not had money on me or just didn't think I had enough to share, Sandy has still given me a flower and wished me a lovely evening. He rides his bike all around town with something in his hand to give you. Sandy is someone I don't know very well who has given me frequent gifts and blessings. How has the post office worker helped you today? Or the check-out girl at Bi-Lo? What have you received from driver of the car next to you, who so graciously obeyed these helpful traffic laws to keep you safe?
Here is the information about the upcoming Sandy Bell benefit:
