Transit through Vancouver's Eastside

I love the view of the city I get when on the bus. Driving down Powell, an area many people avoid because of the nature of the neighbourhood; I am given hope by all the beautiful organizations that exist to help the people of the neighbourhood. 

The old Chinese couple that hold each others hands as they clench their umbrellas, staying dry in Chinatown. 

The old man who gets on the bus with the cane, who smiles at the young girl in her grandmother's arms, receiving so much joy from her innocence. 

The bus driver who shows compassion on that same old man who took 30 seconds to make his way to his seat; the bus sat still til he was seated. 

After only begin back in Vancouver for a month, I've already learned to appreciate the sunshine in a BIG way when it comes out. The city sparkles. Today is one of those days. After days of fog, sunshine is glorious. 

There is so much beauty in this world, in this East Vancouver. Thank you lord for these gifts today. I love this city.
