...an ancient crossing guard out in the street with his sign, making the way safe for the little kids coming out of elementary school. A chubby little boy stops and whips out a paper. The crossing guard is walking very slowly back across the street, and the little kid is going very slowly also waving the paper and talking in an animated manner. Finally, on the other side of the street, the stooped old guy takes the paper, looks at it for a second, then opens his arms and hugs the little boy and then high fives him. The kid jumps up and down, take the paper back, waves at the guy, and skips down the street. Someone got a very good grade on their test, I'm guessing.
Then the light turned green. I felt like a little movie had played out right in front of me. Beautiful. It made me whole day.
a rare perfect thing
