#Spotted While Roaming in Aotearoa New Zealand:
A man (40s?) greets a woman (20s?) and says: "You're looking so chill and happy. So good to see!"
She gives him a radiant smile: "I've been spending time with my dawg today. She's like furry therapy."
A small human (5?) has just realised that his shoelace is undone (oh no!)
But never fear! He knows how to tie shoelaces!
He sits on a curb and very carefully sings a song with all the steps to tying a bow for Nana as she does the work.
A couple (30s?) are sharing a hotdog. One bite for him, one bite for her. Grinning as they sit on a bench people watching. Four optimistic seagulls nonchalantly wandering by, just in case there're any left overs for them. (You never know.)
A man (50s?) is striding along on a winter's day. He's got places to go and things to do.
But wait! What's this?
A cherry tree in blossom?
He skids to a halt, changes mental gears and--hands clasped behind his back--pauses to admire it.
Some things must be appreciated.
Two women are walking home late in the evening. One is huddled from the cold, the other takes off her coat and drapes it over her shoulders. They briefly touch their foreheads together and keep walking. A tiny moment of warmth.
Any typos spotted in this post definitely know how to tie up their shoelaces, they just might need their Nana to do the actual work. If spotted please admire the magnificent blossoms on the trees around them and maybe offer them your coat if they're chilly.
