With Valentine's Day approaching quite quickly it's no surprise that I'm looking for little signs of love everywhere.
Today, as I was walking to my Journalism class, I noticed two people walking away from each other. They were both wearing a huge smiles on their face. Every few seconds the young woman, who I'll call Sally, kept glancing over her shoulder at the young man, I'll call him Joe. Everytime that Sally would look back from Joe she would plaster yet another smile on her face. Joe, in the meantime, would look back at Sally as she was looking away. Each time it would be when the other was looking away. Finally, at one small moment they both looked back at each other at the same exact second. For a brief moment I saw a view into what love should be. I haven't got any idea who either of these people were but I do know that joy can come in any form.
I find it so endearing that little moments like this still exist. There are so many instances today when people are bleak and narrow minded. We've entered into a day of sorrow. If people can take little moments to notice the small things on a day to day basis then we'll easily find ourselves inhabiting a much sunnier world. Yes, disasters will keep happening and there's no way to stop that; our responsibility is simply to change the circumstances in our miniature world through little steps. When you're walking along the sidewalk and you see those windswept dunes in the snow, smile knowing that that is natures Blue Period. We can not control all things. We can control the smile on our face.
I want to thank Joe and Sally. Today you've given me something to smile about. Now to just find myself some snow dunes.
