shoeprints in the snow
it snowed a little bit last night and as i walked to work this morning, i looked at other people's shoe prints in the snow. i think i found a mother wearing pointy-toed, square-heeled boots, walking with her child, wearing round-toed ecco boots or shoes. i imagined the mother was on her way to her office, and was walking her child to the daycare center, and they were holding hands so that they would not slip on the icy snow.
i trailed them from the sidewalk near my apartment block, up until the town hall. the sidewalk was being warmed up by the sunshine, and the snow had melted, so i lost my mother and child. :(
then i saw a cyclist abruptly stop cycling and abandon his bicycle on the sidewalk as he went running into a parking lot. my view was being obscured by a fence so i did not see that an old woman had slipped on the ice in the parking and the man went to help her up and walked her to safety.
it made me happy to see that spontaneous, kind act. i smiled at him as i walked by and he told that he'd fallen off his bike twice this morning already whilst cycling to work, so he knew how painful it could be. we wished each other a safe journey and i continued on my way to work.
last day of work *i hope*. yay! then i am off to indo for 2 months! :-)
