Had a peculiar day today

Had a peculiar day today
This is what can happen when you go through life with open eyes and an open mind.

I left work early this day, and there's a guy creating sand sculptures of animals on the shopping mile my office leads to. Sometimes dogs, sometimes pigs with piglets at the tits. Really good. Always draws quite a crowd. At one time I dropped him a fiver, even though that's some real money for me.

Now today, when walking by, there was a muslim couple. She wearing a Chador, but both arm in arm, laughing and watching the spectacle of the artist creating a sleeping dog this time round. Later on I took the lift to the tube, and I happened to share it with an old orthodox jew, maybe even a rabbi. For some reason he adressed me, and although we didn't have any kind of deep conversation, we kept exchanging joking remarks until we reached the train.

Now, in both instances, this went against every one of my own prejudices, however forcefully I try to supress them. I never would have adressed that jew, since I somehow expect them to be so far removed from reality that it seems useless. In the case of the couple, I wouldn't have expected them to show some real affection for each other and to be able to enjoy life.
