Today, I experienced one of those surreal moments where time seems to stand still for just a little while, and everything inside you pays attention. . . I saw a grizzled, old man. Spine curved with age, he shuffled, unhurried, enjoying the early evening sun on his face. . . As my gaze started to drift away, I noticed his shoes — they were red. The brightest red that I had ever seen. A celebration unto themselves. . . They made my heart jump with joy. The sheer audacity of disregard for age, or convention, or what might be seemly enough for a man who has seen more than a few seasons. . . As our eyes met — and it was just the briefest connection in time — I smiled at him. A gift, in exchange for this unexpected, wild delight of a man in the final act of his life, owning the sidewalk in his red shoes. . . Oh, the beauty of this defiant act of joy. . . —On exiting the stage in red shoes. . . © Liezel Graham 2018. . . It seems a good day to repost this story.
