angel

Walking in to work I pass a stream of cars that block most of the sun light on the avenue.  And for a second, their traffic leaves a perfect ball of bright light on the sidewalk that arcs like a softball thrown underhanded.  The arc of that light was uncanny - it rose and fell as if by gravity.

Something passes through my mind, involuntarily - a feeling of apparition, of vision, and then I catch the eyes of a fellow pedestrian.  He saw it too, and felt it as I did.

How our minds seize on such things, nothings, as carriers of meaning!
