We detoured slightly again passing the glorious NY Public Library. Ever a bastion of knowledge, it shines inside and out for the city and the world.

We slowed to snap the sculpture adorning an entrance to Grand Central Station.

Always a personal fascination for me, the Chrysler building’s adornments caught my eye and we went into the lobby for a couple of architectural design minutes.

I’ll spare you a lot of words and pictures to focus on a major highlight: meeting a man who we believe is doing more for world peace and humanity than anyone else we know.
9336 Man Of Merit
The brilliant son of two dear friends, he now works to help world leaders solve Big Problems. We enjoy his easy, affable humility and our brief conversation in his incredibly busy day provided a bounty of substance and inspiration.
9331 Open Mind
As one would expect, yet we didn’t somehow anticipate, his assistant was another luminous source of light.
9342 Facilitator
Walking back we climbed from busy 42nd Street up the steps into a little wonderland named Tudor City Greens, pondering life amid the hope and peril of our species.
