Description

Frontload: The dude I am about to describe in this post was not in any way trying to creep on a kid. It was a passing communication between two energies, and not whatever social propaganda has predisposed you to think. I was about 6 or 8 years old, and I was with my family walking the mall toward where Cavages used to be. You were walking in the opposite direction, and you turned back-had the happiest, almost rapturous expression... and I saw you and felt magnetized...- and you said to me: "You have the most beautiful blue-green aura." Then my family noticed me lagging and snapped me in line. It was weird-we made eye contact as we passed, you spun and said this to me as we both walked backward away from one another. This person made no beckoning gesture...just wanted to say something and move on. He did, and we did. I have no idea how old you were then; you could have been a teen or older. I think you might have been around my parents' age at the time, which means you'd be about 70 today, if you're still alive...if that idea is true. I hope you had a good life, person. I hope you're still alive and instilling wonder into the people you meet. Thank you for that brief moment that I never forgot.
