One time my father and I were walking down 47th street and we came upon an old man weeping in the street.
My father touched his shoulder and asked, ‘What is your trouble, friend?’
The man looked down and responded, ‘I miss my old glasses, for with them I could watch the birds sing.’
My father reached right into his camel hair coat and from inside the lapel pocket produced a single white dove.
With his free hand, he reached into his pants pockets and pulled out a roll of tape.
‘Take your rest on me, my friend,’ he said as he taped that beautiful dove to the man’s face, tirelessly winding lengths of tape around the man’s head to secure the bird in place, so that the man never had to live a life of regret ever again.
