August 6 new York city 2nd night
August 6 new York city 2nd night
After McDonald man let me out on the 3am. I looked for a bathroom. A back man told me there is a bathroom in deli store. It looks like they open 24 hours. Some young men were playing cards at a table. After bathroom , I asked the owner to recharge iPod battery . They couldn't help. A young man next me was shopping there, he said he can help me , he works in a food booth in the street corner. We walked there, he put my iPod in recharge. I waited outside. Read bible. This was early morning, I felt little bit cold. 6am, a new day came. God have mercy, He take care his every child. I walked on street , thought I would go to see the statue of liberty. Along the road , I saw many people sleeping outside, that give me courage .
I remembered when i stayed at Grant 's home, there was another couchsuffer Astro, he said if you can sleep outside, you will be in real freedom. I believe so. You don't need worry where you will sleep tonight, you don't need spend a lot of time to look for a place of work for talk for exchange . You don't come back, you can go forward forever .
I walked on through the broadway , someone told me how i can get to see the statue of laberty .
I was Lady laberty last year in parade in Mendocino . I myself made the costume . Use quit cover made robe . A cookie box as the book. A paper fowl roll as torch stick. Santa clouse hat as flame on the torch.
Cartons board made 7 pieces triangles . And a round circle .
. Covered same faberic . Sew them together.
A night I was everything . Second morning . When Sean woke up he was saw the while set of custom . He was a amazed . He thought I can make the robe . He couldnt imagine how I can homemade the. crown. He thought I need to buy one.
I has big fun on that day . When I see this statue of laberty. That always reminds me I was lady liberty in July 4th parade.
Several years ago , I tried to write a play, musicals. The subject is about lady liberty.
Lasy liberty 's lover is in prison. She try to rescue him.
I Pass through a place . Many people . I went inside . It is moms rial of 911 . ground zero . Cheistopher told me to go to see ground zero . I though it is a ground. Because 911 took the big building away. Now the surpring thing is most high building is here. This great country rebuild it.
When 2003 When I traveled in Tebet . I met a muslim from Gansu province. My friend Zhou talk with him about 911. This man think they " should " bomb America. I felt fear when I heard that .
Cheke Internet about 911 bomb America . Should or not . What bible say about 911 bomb .
From ground zero . I walked to the bank .bay park . I lay down on the bench , take nap . Last night is one night stand . I went to check to boat to the Eliot island . The too many people long line . The fee is $. 17 .
I
I rembered Ali told me the free ferry . I found the right place . There were many people too .
Finally we got on the board . The view was getting more beautiful as the boat was going away . New York became a Visional city on water .
I took a big nap on the island under the tree, got several big bites from mosquitoes . . And came back at evening.
See one more time new york on water. I even felt it is more beautiful than we left It . Perhapls the angel differient of leaving away and coming closer give doffere feeling .
Get afternoon , I have that paper it list all shelters of new York , the man work s there circle two of them , tell me those are for women . I thought I may try closest one, still have some obstacles to sleep outside . I want a bed to sleep better . So I walked toward that direction .
Along the road I saw many people sleep ouch street. I thought i may join in them.
I kept walking , when I came to a big church , I decided to stop here , this is my place for tonight. I saw a black young man sleeping on the steps this early morning when passed here . He wore beautiful suit , there two big suitcases besides him. He looked far away homeless style, more like a businessman just get out of Airport. I don't know his story. Why he slept on street. but tonight this is my spot. I don't sleep on steps. I stay close to the door as I can . I prayed to God. . Please protect me, give me a peaceful night.
This is first time I sleep outside . If in Buffulo I was Michael 's home I slept on his porch . That 's in his home . Upstairs , there is a bed . And took a blanket from inside. That was not real ouside, certain ly not on street . That was a good Prictice .
I put a piece of plastic on the concret ground . Backpack as pillow, a small bag crlossing my body , there were my ID and passport and money and bank cards inside .the sheet is big envolop , j used king side sheet , fold and sew it become a envolop . I put myself inside, if put a stamp and write address : dreamland , that just where I want to go tonight .
I lay down on my new bed, with the envolop sheet covered my whole body . At I don't want other people know I am a woman sleeping alone on street . I wear long sleeve shirt , in case cold at night while I sleep ,
