DAY 46: SECURITY
I used to the see this guy occasionally, walking down the street here in Lebanon. I didn’t know a lot about him, but from his appearance – with the long hair, the hat, the occasional chains/bad biker motif thing going on – I formed an impression of him...I thought of him as a “tough guy” and someone somewhere way on the other side of approachable.
That impression was completely revised the day I saw him with this sweet little girl. I’m not sure now, but I think she is his niece. They had walked to the neighborhood store together to buy some treats.
It was obvious the little girl adored him and trusted him. AND he looked directly into the camera when I took their picture – with kind eyes.
That chance encounter with them caused me to see “biker dude” in a whole new light. And isn’t it rather serendipitous that the day this happened he was wearing a shirt that screamed “SECURITY”?!
I got the message.
Life is so interesting.
