Can You Spare a Moment?

Once upon a time I don't even remember when, I got attracted to the idea of parkettes -- tiny pieces of park in the mist of urbanite. Not that they are anything flashy, most of the time you don't even notice them. However, they provide a window, a tiny escape to enjoy a piece of green, to reflect, or simply to breathe.

Have you ever take note of these parkettes in our city? Be in around your home or work, have you ever take a moment to enjoy them? This parkette is located at Spadina/Bloor, titled "Can you spare a moment?" -- tiny piece of sod is planted in the middle of the parkette. The artist invite bypassing pedestrians to "spare a moment" -- to sit down, to chat, to stop your footsteps and breathe a little...


Question is: How many of us will accept the artist's invitation?

Rather than asking "Can you spare a moment", maybe the real question is --- "Will you spare a moment"?

The Lord our God ask this of us everyday....How will you respond?
