It's amazing how much you can see in a perfect strangers life style while just idling at a red light.

Once again, like every single day, I was stopped at the intersection on Haggerty and 8 Mile this morning on the way to school. I'd call anyone touched by an angel if they ever were able to make it through that light without being stopped. This morning was different though, as the sky was awakening in an utterly beautiful display, much unlike the usual blackness of six thirty in the morning (Praise the Lord for late arrivals) and it was quite a rare opportunity to see the sky so beautiful. Pulling up on either side of me were young business men and women, white collar workers driving their atrociously oversized SUV's cursing in silence to the tri colored machine overhead, inconviencing them for only a few seconds, though in business time, it was enough to make them a little late for that "important meeting" that dragged them out of their homes. Everywhere I looked, I saw the same thing...angry workers staring up at the stop light; then this small white car pulled up along side me housing another suit and tie clad middle aged man who looked as though he had signed one too many papers in his life. He glanced up at the traffic light, as I expected to glare at it and curse...as if these magical words of hatred would make the light suddenly change...but instead he looked towards the sunrise and just stared mouthing " Wow...thats beautiful..." (I'm actually pretty good at reading lips. Always have been) it made me smile seeing this evident business man, clearly on his way to work, stop and look at the natural beauty and appreciate it within the sea of honking horns and angry souls who were angered by this pause in their travel. Too often we forget about the only truely perfect thing out there: The World. In it's spectacular beauty. Sometimes you need to just ignore the little inconveinces and such like, stop lights, computers and such and just take time, like that man, and look at the sky.

Okay enough of that, CONGRADULATIONS ANN MARIE FOR THE LEAD!
