ON THE BUSES: SHE WORE A RED HAT

In a sea of commuters wearing black, you stood out in your red hat and your green hand knitted jumper. Unfortunately this image does not show it, but as you were sitting there waiting for your bus, you looked so happy. I wonder if it was age that gave you the strength to be different, to stand out from the crowd. Or were you always the sort the walked your own path. I rode onward, and began to wonder, when did the world want to become the same? Were we humans always wanting to be the same, or fighting those who were different. 

“Differentiation is not a tactic. It’s not a flashy advertising campaign; it’s not a sparkling new feature set. It’s not a laminated frequent buyer card or money-back guarantee. Differentiation is a way of thinking. It’s a mindset. It’s a commitment.” -  Youngme Moon 

ON THE BUSES: A COUPLE OF COUPLES

I have a secret love, of looking at couples and wondering if they “match”.  Do they look as if they are similar? Or, so different that I wonder what attracted them, and does it work.

Often I find that many old couples look alike. You've probably seen it before -- two elderly people walking hand in hand down the street or sitting at a café, resembling each other so strongly that they could be siblings. Do these couples actually look alike, and if so, what's caused them to develop this way?

So I am wondering, do you think you look and or act similar to your partner? Have you had a type when it comes to your partners? Or are you the kind of person who goes for an opposite to balance you? I love know how people got together and what keeps them together. Would love for everyone to share their story! 

1. How did you meet?

2. How long have you been together?

3. Are you alike in either looks or personality?

ON THE BUSES: AFTERNOON NAP

Some times I think I like catching the bus just so I can people watch. The bus pulled into the stop, and Jarvis and I were level with this gentleman. As I watched his eyes grew weary and his head nodded. The warmth of the winter sun lulling him to sleep, as the he waited for his bus. As we pulled out of the station I wondered if he would wake in time to catch his bus.

ON THE BUSES: ALL IN A LINE

“O dreary life,” we cry, “O dreary life!”
And still the generations of the birds
Sing through our sighing, and the flocks and herds
Serenely live while we are keeping strife
