Today I sat in a park for an entire afternoon. Watching children run around each other, watching dogs splashing around in the fountain.
I was alone, not an unusual occurrence these days, but today I felt more alone than I can remember. It was approximately 3pm when I noticed I was sitting on the bench with an old man. He looked happy, satisfied and light. This must be his daily or at least weekly routine, just coming to the plaza to sit under the shade and watch people busy about their Sunday afternoons. He looked like he did everything he needed to do, no where else to be, nothing else to worry about..
And then I wondered why he was alone. Where was his person?
I hope he found her and known her in his life.
