Jan. 6, 2009 - Beauty

On the way home from the gym tonight, I saw something that made me stop and think.

I was stopping at a yellow light and saw an elderly couple on the corner. They were standing close, holding hands.

They started crossing the street right in front of my car.

The old man removed his hand from his wife's and placed it gently against her lower back, guiding her across the street.

As he passed in front of my car, he glanced at me. His eyes seemed to dance with happiness.

Here were two people that were so happy, just living inside the moment.

They got safely to the other side of the street and he turned to her. He put his hand gently on her cheek and kissed her.

Just softly on the lips.

And she kissed him back.

Sometimes people are beautiful.

Not in looks.

Not in what they say.

Just in what they are.
