A Window to an Epiphany

Today while waiting for my dad to pick me up so we could go to the gym together, I sat on the couch next to our large living room window.  The cats and I were enjoying a warm winter Southern California breeze.  I could hear the chattering of some people outside, but it took a while before they came up the sidewalk into my view.  They were two elderly women.  One was using a walker to hold herself up and the other woman was holding her arm.  They looked as if they were in their late 70s to 80s.

Most people would have looked at these two women and lose interest in them because they were inching their way so slowly on their walk.  At first glance, there was nothing "special" about them.  Just two old ladies out on a nice day.  I was still waiting for Dad and had to keep an eye out for his car, so I continued to look out the window.  I'm glad I did.  I realized a few moments later that the scene before me was truly beautiful and magical!

Both women were dressed in pretty pastel spring colors, even though it's still winter.  They just went perfect with our gorgeous 78 degree weather day.  They were smiling and talking, when suddenly the more able bodied woman let go of her friend's arm and began acting out something she was telling the other about.  Both women started laughing.  The woman with the walker had to stop because she was laughing so hard.  The sound of their laughter sang to my ears.  Colors, the sun glowing upon their white hair, laughter carrying throughout the street, tenderness as the one woman continued to help the other with her walker, friendship, companionship, smiles, and beautiful heart chakras.  What more could we ever truly want in life than to have what those two women had in that one moment of time?  Money could not have bought what came so naturally on such a gorgeous day.

It took a little bit before they cleared my view because of how slowly they had to walk.  I consider it a blessed opportunity to be shown beauty in the form of something so unexpected.  The things that matter most in life are really that simple.
