i spent time with a stranger today

i spent time with a stranger today. sometimes in life you cross lines with somebody that inspires you to inspire. other times you hear a story or a speech that stirs your foundations and makes you want to change it all. those moment that seem small and insignificant that often turns out to be the most meaningful ones. the situations you enter without any preconceived idea or expectation. almost catches you off your guard. the times when your guard is down and your auto pilot is on. (i spent time with a stranger today). the stranger was telling me that he is about to become a father and how excited and scared he was at the same time. his passion, expectation and hope was infectious. i truely felt connected to this stranger in a weird way. a way that makes no sense at all. but the type of sagacity that i often experience these days did not put me off from exploring this event. there was the way he articulated himself and the detailed manner filled with pride that was captured in his every word was intoxicating. as if he was sent from another place to bring this message to me. (i spent time with a stranger today).when we parted ways i carried a sentiment of delight with me. as if i just lived through a dream. the train pulled away and his silhouette faded on the platform. but it felt as if his presence never left me. i am certain that over paths will cross again. i am confident that i will see him next time on the platform with his child in his arms. a proud father. i spent time with a friend today.
