One day, my neighbor invited me to go with her to town.
One day, my neighbor invited me to go with her to town.
In that instant, I saw the entire thing at one go.
It was akin to looking at a painting.
And in one look, takes in everything.
The stream, the trees, the people, the house, the grass, the flowers.
But all in one look.
In that one look, I saw she was asking me not because she wants my company.
She had four small children and could use my help with them.
I also saw she would take the entire day to do her shopping.
And that it would be a long day for me.
I declined her offer.
I remember that incident long after.
It was the first time I was able to see a situation.
On the spot, in all aspects and from all angles.
That I found to be very striking.
It became a valuable tool for gauging people, situations and things.
