Philosophy of Joy on a New York City Bus
The metro wasn’t running and we needed to take the free shuttle bus instead. We sat near a large woman next to a small boy and listened.
Whatchyou talkin’ ‘bout the end o’ the world’? It be just a storm, not the end o’ the world! Who been givin’ you ideas ‘bout the a-po-ca-lypse anyway?! You wake up in the morning (snap) — happy. You go outside for a walk (snap) — happy. That’s how it’s done, son! There be no time for bein’ pessi-mistic! Look at me! I still have some years in me and I don’t have time fo’ dis shit! (loud joyous laughter)

Bruce at Home, New York City, June 2015
A pleasure to spend time with Bruce Gilden.
When going home in the train later in the evening I began to cry. I then realized Bruce reminds me of my late father.
