Strange Fruit

The sky was a muted grey today, and it was lovely. I like this chilly weather, everything seems so brisk and freshly faded.

Something happened this afternoon while I was at work... I dunno... I was going back to my desk, walking past a co-worker [in his late 50's prolly, a person whom I've never talked to before, nothing really unusual since I walk by him everyday!], I caught him looking down at his desk, having an orange at his cubicle... he then looked up briefly and our eyes locked for a mere second - I gave him a smile and then he went on about his business...

He's discreet to begin with. I think I had caught a glimpse of this person's own 'me' time... it was very intimate, and I felt myself being somewhat like an uninvited guest... yet the incident made me very happy [I know 'happy' isn't much of an adjective, but that's how I felt at the time!]... It was like a warm and fuzzy feeling - genuinely good inside. Seeing a stranger, yet a familiar face, having a little quiet 'moment' to himself...

You're prolly thinking that this is all a little weird... maybe... I might be reading too much into it, but I did feel something special, I can't explain it much more, but it was a darn good feeling and I'll just leave it at that.
