Today at RDP, bushboy has asked us to share a story,
poem, photo, painting, essay, etc., focusing on the
word ‘proximity’. Thanks, Brian! Here’s my take.
Two strangers found themselves seated next to each other on a crowded bus. Despite the close proximity, they remained silent, lost in their own thoughts. As the bus jolted to a sudden stop, the woman’s book slipped from her hands and landed in the man’s lap. With a smile, he handed it back to her, sparking a conversation that blossomed into a friendship and, inevitably, a beautiful romance.

Chris Montez has a nice quality to his voice and his songs were always romantic. I’m glad to know you enjoyed this one, John.

Love can happen anytime anywhere, as the unpredictable can begin unexpectedly.

That is something I really believe. Bill and I met on a blind date almost 58 years ago and we’ve been together ever since.
