word.

May 17, 2011 By Meredith Winn

Are you like me, do you ever stumble upon something so randomly at just the right moment when you need to see it most? A literal “writing on the wall” moment that stops you in your tracks? Word.

Today, share with us the graffiti, the truth, the words or the street art you find that makes everything seem right in the world.

    I saw this written in several places as we walked through Central Park on Christmas Day. We exited and headed toward upper West Side….blocks away from the park, I found it again in the middle of a busy sidewalk. Message received, loud and clear!

    I stumbled upon this message at the side of a path in remote countryside while trekking in Nepal – it literally did stop me in my tracks!

    Well. There are suggestions, as I found on this wall in New Orleans:

    And then there are commands–look to the far left, among the other random names and greetings:

    My words were on the wall of a preschool classroom. And I really needed the reminder:

    I love the "believe" phrase and how you are standing at the threshold of all the color it holds!

    Sometimes you just have to let go and see what happens:

    Seems like the perfect opportunity to make this graffitti whatever you needed it to say: http://www.flickr.com/photos/anngeedee/5698331210/in/photostream I love that it's got the copyright logo next to it too. To me is says, "We're all in this together".
