People-watching

One can see so many interesting people just by sitting for a few minutes

in an airport. A constant stream of the busy, the tired, the young and the

old, all wearing every color of skin and type of garb. Today in

particular was interesting for a few different people.

The first was a quixotically beautiful older man who looked like the

self-portrait of a rennaisance artist. The man seemed to be in his

mid-sixties and could not have been over five feet tall. Grey hair that

was eroded from its old shoreline fell near his shoulders in combed

loose waves. A nose that was large and slightly Cyranesque perched in a

face with gentle lines like the contours of landscape that turned around

warm eyes and a broad mouth. He traveled with a dignified, easy limp and

a small white cane with a wrist strap.

Sitting in a seat in front of me on the airplane is an older gentlemen

who looks very much like Rasmus. He has the same sort of slighly-bulldoggish

handsomeness and briskly pleasant manner.
