wow, so this rambling has started out completely different than I had expected. While I was starting to write I got an email from a friend, that yet another what was thought of as a true love married couple is splittin, and it's gettin messier than first thought.
I had started this ramblin w/the thoughts of sharing what I saw on sat afternoon and so I shall.
I was drivin along 21st street in Ghent. I saw a very beautiful couple, very hip and elegant. They were smiling, running across the street, and talking as they moved. I was at a stop light for awhile, so I continued to watch them.They started strolling down the street looking at each other. You know that look you may have been privy to see a few times in your life...complete and utter envelopment with each other. They stopped and started kissing, and they didn't stop. It wasn't a gross get a room type, it was very seductive, passionate, gentle. I giggled some as I sat in my car watching, because I was such the voyeur. But what I was getting from these two people was a feeling of hope. That feelings like that do exist, and not just in books or movies. I've seen it in real life a few times. Now mind you, I am not unrealistic. I am sure they have their moments of grating on each other nerves, and maybe their life is not as stunning and hopeful as what I was allowed to glimpse. But it was for that moment, and I was very glad to have been part of it even tho they had nary a clue.
