I used to be envious of couples, especially those that appear to be "in love" and happy. Early on, it was ALL couples; however, after being on the other side, at times, I learned that perceptions are not necessarily reality (reclaiming the cunt (part 5)). Somehow, that has morphed and I am not sure when it took over this year. I catch myself now smiling and feeling a sense of peace and love when I fortunately witness moments of sweetness.
Today I was so taken by a middle-aged couple on the bus that I almost missed my stop (and unfortunately, could not move my arms to capture the Kodak moment as it was such a calm state to enjoy in the now). She was seated while he was standing. Periodically, she would lean in and look down, resting her head against his belly. While that was cute, the beauty was when I finally looked up (as I had initially mistaken that she may be upset or hurt so watched her for a bit). Above her, he was so focused on looking down at her. His smile was absolutely radiant. It shone like the sun beaming through the clouds.
Regretfully, something smacked me out of my bliss, in time for my stop. As I was getting off the bus, the vision of her arms draped and wrapped around the middle of his leg was so comforting. As her foundation, she clearly felt secure ... and very loved by him. Happiness is ...
