Stranger 195 - Sal - a photo on Flickriver

“I’m a humanitarian”

It was clear that Sal, my would-be 195th stranger, was a wayfarer as he walked up the street toward me. The well-worn backpack was certainly a clue, but he just had the look of a young man that was on a never ending expedition. His accoutrements certainly made him stand out from the crowd, but as is so often the case, it was his eyes (sharp, green, & piercing) that set me in motion to secure a stranger portrait from him.

After my approach and introduction, Sal and I shared quite a bit of time getting to know one another. He was indeed a cross between Jack Kerouac and a new age spiritualist, wandering wherever the breeze carries him. He talked about his travels all over the country, visiting friends, family, and various art & music festivals. He stated that he does not believe in making plans, but our conversation eventually led to him describing some of his personal goals and dreams. Those ambitions include attending a management school founded by the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi as well as one day taking his traveling road show overseas.

Good luck Sal, and may the four winds blow you safely along in your life’s journey.
