Strangely Beautiful 10-10-14

I went to the cafe in the library to have soup for lunch on this chilly day. I got there and they had no soup left. So I decided to just eat the granola bar in my purse and sit by one of the windows in the library and read my book. I had been sitting there for a bit when this elderly lady sat in the chair across from me. She looked so worn out and eventually fell asleep with her head resting in her hand. It was strangely beautiful. The grey light that shown through the window gave the wrinkles in her time aged skin their own stories. I couldn't help but watch her a bit. My eyes then traveled down to her feet. The pants hemmed with colorful paper clips, the vibrant color of the turquoise in her shoes and the stack of miscellaneous papers stuffed into her purse tickled my imagination. I felt like if I didn't get my camera out and take a quick picture I would be doing a disservice to everyone who missed this sweet moment.
