Oh yes, Jo, certain moments in passing stays with us and gives us unaccustomed pleasure as we relive it in the days, weeks, sometimes even years to come. This was very romantic. ~*~ Why do we drive on a parkway and park on a driveway? ~*~ |

One cannot help but wonder what would have been revealed if you both hadn't just walked on. As they say, a stranger's just a friend you do not know but how like the human race not to embrace strangers - can't really blame them though in this day and age. Keep an open eye, Jo. Love Helen |

Thank you Yann and Helen. A happening from years ago. I am usually pretty perceptive.This was many years ago but remains to be thought of once in a while. It helps to keep the imagination alive. Jo |

A sweet lament of that feeling of almost but not quite, wishing for another view |

I too, have had moments when I passed by someone and lost the opportunity for an interaction and sometimes I remember (what if) a few of them. |

makes one wonder where these connections came from. Ida |

. Hi Ida, It is a look or a smile or mostly something in the eyes. It can be a man or a woman or even a young person. A connection seems to be there and you wonder. I have often spoken to a man or woman about almost anything just to find the connection. Usually with a smile and a funny thought or a compliment. It works for the time being but the person still is a stranger and you never meet again. Most people you do this with appreciates the pause in their day, especially if a compliment is given. I should write it in a notebook as I remember most of them. Thanks for stopping by. Jo |

I have read this one a few times and it is definitely one that many can relate to. Kudos for penning the recall so well on such a brief encounter. I enjoyed |

This so reminds me of a moment in my life that I'll not forget: I was on Paddington station, in the buffet bar. I looked over her mother's shoulders(I assume it was her mother) and caught her eyes, as she caught mine. A simple moment that we never forget. |

Jimmy, I did not see it but this post of yours is a t treat.I appreciate any one who takes the time to read and post especially from you.I sometimes have a problem posting.What I put in does not show for a while, and that is why you might sometimes see a double post from me.I know it has something to do with my browsers. I am glad you stopped back. Thank you, jo [This message has been edited by latearrival (06-26-2014 01:35 AM).] |

This was an incredibly thought out piece gal. I think we've all done this. Then again, we're all strangers to someone....In fact, I'm stranger than most. |
