"I prefer to explore the most intimate moments, the smaller, crystallized details we all hinge our lives on." -Rita DoveI have a lot of thoughts to share lately. May not seem that long ago, but considering the last time I blogged was Thursday I have made many observations since then. I will limit myself to two today though. Especially because I eventually need to eat dinner and would like to go to the gym, play with the ratties and relax before I head to sleep...
On my way home from my Los Altos Hills council meeting Thursday evening, I was stopped at a red light as I exited on De Anza Blvd. I looked to my left and saw the couple in the car next to me. I know you're thinking... so, there's always couples in cars. But this couple was absolutely adorable. The girl was laughing profusely as the guy messed with her neck. They were making all sorts of gestures toward one another. Completely unaware of the world around them, which is a little scary considering they were driving, but you catch my drift. I know, me trying to describe it in this blog just doesn't do it justice. But it made me smile. I think some of the most beautiful moments in this world are the ones shared by two people, truly in love.... small gestures that occur while in the most mundane of places like the gym, the supermarket, a car.
I don't know about you, but whenever I see an old couple holding hands and crossing the street it gives me an unexplainable peace. Like they have been living through life in this world with one another for years, but they still remain to be the other person's world. I'm a big softie, what can I say. But there is a lot of beauty in this world, even in the mundane, and it is best to appreciate it, instead of being envious or bitter. There is no reason for anything less than compassion.
