1.8.22 // Smiling at Strangers

There is something about the ease of smiling at strangers…
.
The gentle and curious eye contact only lasts for a moment.
.
Glances are shared in moments of unedited impressions.
.
The mere seconds of decisions that can lead to paths crossing or the continuation of lives running parallel.
.
The rarity to which a stranger becomes a familiar or even more so a friend.
.
Seemingly isolated experiences become universal in the offhand that smile becomes shared.
