On the underground last night as I was
making my way from my house to my ride to Brighton to see some of my most
favorite people on this earth, listening to Al Green totally zoned out in my
own world, standing up naturally moving to the groove of the incredible music playing
in my ears. Looking like a weirdo as always, not caring as always. Although
standing on a train surrounded by strangers, I was miles away. An elder man and
his wife jump on to the carriage I am on at Paddington underground station, he
looks at me, I smile, he smiles back with an incredible smile that touches his
ears, his wife does not see. He starts grooving to my music, expressing his
love for what I was listening to, he tells me he loves my taste, I lip read as I
can hear nothing but the music, his wife smiles and begins to groove with
us. Even though I was already in a
positively beautiful mood, this made me so much more electrifyingly happy to be
amongst a fellow music appreciator, I could not stop smiling. What a beautiful
encounter.
