He may have been blind
January 29, 2007I was just driving through my hometown, with The Cardigans in my car’s CD player, at maximum volume. At the side of the road, I see a man and a woman, in their late 50s I suppose; the woman is supporting the man, the guy was clearly having trouble walking, despite his walking stick. He may have been blind as well, I couldn’t tell.
As I’ve been taught by my parents, I stopped, and waved at them that they could safely cross the road. As they get to the other side, the woman raises her hand in greeting, and I greet back; I release the clutch, and just as I’m about to set my foot on the gas pedal, Nina Persson sings:
Well you get what you give
I felt all sparkly and warm inside.
