July 13, Cleveland 4th night

July 13, Cleveland 4th night Astro got up early , when I got up, Grant told me Astro went to starbucks to use Internet. I eat instant noodle as breakfast, Grantb dropped me in starbucks , Astro tool came in car to take my place. A lady was drawing a beautiful picture,i took some photos of her and her works. I went to David market, i bought some bread and fruit. and then i play flute outside the door. I did not make any money. So i decided to go downtown. A back lady gave me ride to the public square. I made 14$. A woman took a music sheet , asked me to play, I cannot read music and play immodestly, I need practice until I am familiar the music. She gave me $2. But she did not leave , she stay with me and follow me where I go several hours. I could not understand her english clearly. She just stood next to me , some times speak something sometims just simply quiet. A man came , he did not make any donation , but he talked a long article, I did not understand clearly his English either, basicly his speech is about penny whistle of some kinds of music instrummenf , about Chinese , Mongolia , American Indian. I know that related the tool I work and my race and looking. I praised how professional and hoes knowdgesble he is, even I did not understand his English . I told myself be patient, I though today is amazing , two persons one black woman one white man both them looked mam around me, stayed long time. I told myself be patient , God can use anyone to be my blessings.God sent two mam persons around me long time , God must have His reason . Finally the white man went away. The black woman was still here. I thought how I can get rid of her, I moved to another coner, but she follow me and take the stand to help me moving. And then she stood there. I didn't make any money, so I went to Starbucks to take break and I tried one more time to get rid of her. That reminded me of some marriage or friends. this person must follow another person, that person doesn't like this person. That is pretty difficult thing. It might can drive you crazy. She is with me to Starbucks, sat face to face my seat. I thought if I dont speak Anything , she will be feel boring to silence , and then she will leave . But she just sat there , totally quiet, really I even forget about her because I was busy on iPod . When I pulled back mind from iPod , I am suprised someone siting in the front of me. She was still here. I tried to use some words meaning goodbye, " what time is your bus ?" " you don't need have to wait for me." "I will go home soon" " you are a nice lady. I wish you have a wonderful evening ." " I will call you next time." She left. I felt I took a big breath. I went out , stood at tower city outside smoking place , play flute , made 20$ something, not very tasty breath, The money mainly from cigaret smokers. Around. 6:30 pm, I was thinking how I can get back home. Grant works from 4:30 pm until 10:30pm, so he cannot came to pick me. I walked to canegik road and thumb up there . I black young man picked me up. His name is Okaga ,from Kenya, he stay in John Cary school . He drove to a place to repair his car , leak oil. He call his friend Riassa , a girl from Burkina faso , who study in university. After a while Riassa came, Okaga left his car in the repair place , we transfer into Riassa 's car. Riassa is beautiful, I sat next to her in passenger seat, she wear shorts . I noticed she has very long beautiful legs, her hands looks like artisan's hands. When we got to Grant's home , I asked to take some photos , they were happy , so I have some photos with this black beauty. I felt happy for this ride, this is the first time my drivers are from Kenya and Burkina faso. There was no one at home. Grant left the side door unlocked , I came into room. I ate and felt tired and slept. After while Astro came back. He had a busy day , he declared he was tired. My sleeping helped me . I felt wake up now. And talked with him . Grant came back home from work .I went to hug him. I felt that His action hugging me was like a big person showing love to small person. In fact he is very thin, pretty skinny. The age younger than me almost 20 years. Men are alway bigger than women, doesn't matter what age or what size. I always respect my host as my master. I respect all men as my head , willing to learn from them. We reported to each other about "how's your day" . Say good night . Grant kept working on his photos he took in italy last month. I made a sign east 90 for tomorrow to Erie. When stood at smoking place to play flute , a black man came , held a dime on his palm . I though he wanted to give that dime to me. He told he just got out of jail, he has only this dime . I congratulated him, told him I pray he will has a job. He said He had job. He stood next to me, talked about Jesus. He asked me a pen to write his telephone to me, he said he will invite me to eat lobster. He started to describe lobster : ... a onion... , I really don't remember his long sermon about how cook and how testy the lobster, because I did not understand the food name or dreesing name in English , I only remember onion . Losber with onion that is good enough. Than then he pointed my tip hat on the ground: can I borrow your 1$ to buy a drink , I will return you $2. " I Imediately told him you can have $1, don't need return. "I put the 1 $1 in his hand. I think if he want $1, just tell me , don't promise me a lobster meal Or return me in 100% interest . God is graceful, he give you what you want. You dont need make a big promise or double return his blessing.
