+ Ml ll THE AWAKENING FACTOR It's a warm Spring night. The sky is clouded over and it looks like rain. The air even gives you that feeling like it does before it rains. You are slowly walking along the street with nothing in particular to do and no special place to go. All of a sudden you begin to no- tice the different things around you. Things which you had never noticed before, even though you see this same block almost every day. You become aware of the great expansiveness of such a small place. There goes a milk truck down to Chicago. And that semi says Minneapolis on it. Here comes a truckload of new cars from Detroit. The license plate on that car is different than ours. Ours say 'America's Dairyland' on them. That one says 'This is the Place', and there's one that says 'The Peach State', and another, 'Land of Enchantment'. Little parts of these places here on this street. You had never thought of them that way before or hardly even wondered what they were doing here. But naw you do. Now you begin to look around a little more carefully. You notice not only the trucks and cars from other parts of this country, but you notice a few of the influences which were once considered foreign but are now as American as you are. The neon sign says 'Kelly's'. That's a good old Irish name. And there's a Jewish clothing store, the Italian shoe shop, and the Germ- an candy store all down the street. And along with this you begin to see the differences in people by noting the difference in their jobs and professions. These too, bringaapart of them- selves into the making of this block. . The siren blares and a cop stops a fellow for speeding. In some countries the sight of a policeman scares everyone who sees him, but here the only one who's scaredzh the guy getting the ticket. You feel thankful that you're here and you're glad that that cop is carrying out his civil duty and is protecting you instead of trying to terrorize you. You are glad of this even more when you see the ambulance go by with someone in it that has just been hurt. A light reflects off of something shiney. It's a bronze plaque. You stop and read it: A MHIBIAL TO THCBE WHO SERVED THE QIJNTHY IN THE WCRLD WAR. This sort of builds up a little patriotism in you. . .WHO SERVED THE CIINIRY. . .that means the whole country, not just that block, but here it is in this block. On the other side of the door there's another one which says: EREIZTED IN GWATITIDE BY THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF WISCINSIN. That's real friendship, just like the guy you saw give a ride to a fellow waiting for the bus a minute ago. So is that open door across the street. It's an eating place. You decide to accept their friendliness, so you go over to get a bite or two. You go in, sit down and order something. Maybe since you're inside you won't notice all these things, but you're wrong. You notice the people in the next booth. They are eating some- thing different than you are--they are feeling happy so their nickle plays a fast number on the juke box. You're not feeling quite so good so yours plays a slower one. You notice their voices, they have a slightly different accent than yours. It's one that is usually found in a different part of the country. They help bring out the expansiveness the same as the milktruck and the semi do. When you pay the check as you leave you can't help but feel the same friendliness others felt when they contribute to the 'Help Prevent Cancer' fund which built the hospital across the street. As you leave and begin to head for home you start to wonder why you noticed all these things, especially tonight. Then it comes to you. You are alone, there's no one to walk with you and keep you company. No one to cheer you up, to enjoy things with you. You have discov- ered you awakening factor ...... .... ..... LONELINESS.
