THE HI-FIVE

A peaceful loving day, what beauty have you witnessed?

I was sitting in my favourite coffee shop, writing as usual. After a while, I could see that someone was watching me. I looked up and I saw big bright eyes with a big grin and a curious face. It was a little boy, about 7 years old.

I smiled back at him. He then ran away, going back to his parents’ seat.

I continued writing.

An hour later, he came closer to me with a bigger grin – expressing his curiosity when seeing me sitting for such a long time with my laptop with all the mess of notebooks and water- bottles…

I raised my hand to hi-five him and he gave me a great hi-five back with a bigger grin – it cheered me a lot as I continued with my work.

Sometimes it is nice to just be like a child - brave, curious, caring...even with a stranger.
