So sad

I have more entries to follow however I had to get this on paper so I wouldn’t forget

I am sitting at the stoplight to turn down the street to my work, running my mala through my hand, finishing up my morning ritual of prayers on my way to work

I happened to look in my rear view mirror and I saw a gentleman in the car behind me

At first I thought he had eaten something and didn’t wipe his mouth, as the morning sun hit his face and there was a shine to it

It was upon further furtive glances behind me that I noticed that he was crying

He seemed to be saying something, not unlike my gentle murmurings of my prayers

At one point I noticed that he took off his glasses and wiped his face

Who knows what had him so sad first thing in the morning as he drove to work or wherever he was off to

I thought that was just so sad to see
