This morning I had another one of those random stranger experiences that I love so very much. Walking to work from the T, Ipod turned on, I felt a little tap on my shoulder. I took out my earplugs and turned to see a tiny elderly man standing beside me. “How do I get to New Chardon St.?” He asked.
I started to give him directions and then realized I could just walk him there myself since it’s right next to my building. “Come with me, I’ll show you,” I said.
This little old man smiled at me and said, “I just love your beautiful red jewelry. You belong at a Chinese wedding.”
“Oh yes, I love red… I’ve decided to be more bold!”
He laughed. “You know, I have a beautiful beaded necklace you would love…and you’d also love the vintage jewelry of the 40s.”
“Yup, vintage is the best. I am a huge fan!”
We crossed the street and I wished him a nice day.
“You too,” he smiled back. Then he stopped, looked at me and said, “Are you a Gemini?”
I was a little stunned, I won’t lie. “Actually, I am, how’d you know?”He winked and started walking. “I’m on today,” was his response.
I was convinced at that point that he was Jesus. Or that magical fairy from Beauty and the Beast. I’m almost always convinced that when dealing with a total stranger, if I’m rude I will suddenly grow fur and claws and be condemned to a tower for the rest of my life. But hopefully this little incident just fed my good karma.
It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood…
