Day #4 of the indoor garden project – so excited – Basil from neighbor’s seed from her plant 🙂

Two litle sprouts 🙂

When I’m not busking, meandering along Hudson, plant whispering, starting my indoor sustainable garden, I’m helping my friend Kevin Vancio organize  this fabulous awakening project here in NY but encompassing the world !

The New World Fair in Queens NY this July is going to be world changing & given all the fabulous healers, teachers, artists, clairvoyants, channelers & vibrational pavers of a New Earth already involved – this event is bound to propel humanity forward in a huge way!

Here’s our site thus far & please don’t hesitate to post here any suggestions you may have for energy workers, speakers, healers, artists etc you may wish to see at the event – otherwise we hope to see you at the Fair!

I get a lot of mail re The Subway Diaries – but a hand written note on Birch Bark is a first! 🙂 Love it! <3

My friend & friend & busker Cathy Grier braved the cold prior to me …

Followed by me ….

Then of course, there’s…Waldo – in case you’re wonderin’ where he’s been hiding – it’s the NFL Store on 6th 🙂

Busking tomorrow AM for Grand Opening of new NFL Pop Up Store on 6th Ave between 41st & 42nd St’s here in NYC – stop by if you’re in town 🙂

So – tonight, as I was waiting for a spot on the Uptown A C E, I sat down on the bench & asked the girl next to me for the time. “Five o’clock” she said checking her iPhone…”Oh and hey, you know, I think I know you…” And she looked down at her phone again & began scrolling through photos…”Yeah. look…” she said as she turned the phone face towards me & right there, staring back at me is me busking the exact same spot a few months back. Subway Randomness in NYC 🙂

Tall, thin man on platform: Hi dear. Lovely to see you again.(drops dollar)
Me: Thnx (smile)
Man: I’m a comedy writer. I was a comedy writer for 59 yrs & I’m gonna write you something special…
Me: ReallY? Cool – oh, right now, ok
Man: I’m 72 yrs old & if I was 6 months younger I’d take you home to meet my momma ’cause you’re so cute. Have a precious evening dear. See you next time!
♥ those trains – never quite sure who’s entertaining who down there 🙂

I had a tough day today so I grabbed my guitar & headed under regardless of it being 9PM at night by the time I got to the platforms.

There was a Cuban vocalist singing Spanish love songs on the Uptown A,C,E so I sat on the bench & waited ’till he was done since he said he wasn’t going to be much more than 20 minutes more

I sat down next to a happy, round-faced  Hispanic woman named Tina with her shopping bags on her lap. One was a huge MACY’S bag and I asked her; “So, what did you get?” as I pointed to the bag.

“Oh” she said confidently, “I found it”

“You found what?” I said as I peered into surprisingly empty bag

“I found the bag and it made me smile because even though I didn’t have the money to go shopping, I feel like I’ve gone shopping just carrying it”

“Oh my God, that’s brilliant. It’s like virtual shopping!”  I said to her & she smiled back a very proud smile.

Sing of the times – I thought to myself … maybe we’ll all be taking a hint from Tina soon and doing all our shopping ‘virutally’ : )

We chatted some more & she told me she and her boyfriend had just broken up but, “I really love my freedom” she added “We have things in common & he is very well to do, but I love my freedom too.” she added, her round, jovial cheeks glowing.

The then reached into her purse for a pen and said “I have something for you” She pulled out a green pen and folded her prize Macey’s bag onto her lap. Then she proceeded to write as she spoke these words:“Ama hasta que Te duela y si te Duele, es un buena senal” ~ Mother Theresa (which, translated means, Love until it hurts & if it hurts it’s a good sign” ~ Mother Theresa

“Keep this” Tina said, “Keep it near you and you will remember it’s power”

Tina proceeded to buy a copy of “The Subway Diaries”, sharing more of her relationship woes and stayed for the first 1/2 hour of my time on the platform. After she left, sharing big hugs and kisses with me , her energy remained.

I continued to sing and to be quite honest, the love that started the night continued non stop through out the evening. Commuters donated, smiled, blew & gave kisses and shared hugs with me all night long. Many shared their stories of where they were from, where they were going and how the music had moved them this evening.

I share this night’s adventures with you guys out there in “The Subway Diaries” – Land because I am eternally beyond floored at what these trains give me daily, nightly, week after week, month after month. I want you to know. I never know where these ‘angel’s come from – I never know where they go afterward as I rarely see the ‘angels’ again. But I have no doubt now, after 6 yrs underground, that angels do exist.I know they exist & I hope you too may be inspired to listen for the angels as they talk to you. Because they will, if you listen closely : )

Love & Peace Heidi & The Subway Diaries
