It was early. A group of strangers gathered at the airport to catch a flight to Toronto. Sipping Coffees and eating breakfast sandwiches, wishing to be awake, an extraordinary thing happened; the sun began to rise. As red stripes painted the sky, those waiting looked, and went back to reading or almost sleeping. People kept turning their heads to peek, catching glipses but not wanting to show others they were interested. And then... an older gentlemen in a striped button-down and a Tiley hat stood in the aisle, postitioned and repositioned himself, and took a couple of pictures. He was cute. His actions also spurred others to look more closely and upon the aisle being cleared, four or five others stood to digitally capture the view.
The man in the Tiley hat was grace for those waiting at the airline gate. He was not afraid of what people would think. He entered into the landscape and saw the beautiful, the Ultimate. He captured that moment and by his actions encouraged those around him to look and be awed.
Thank-you Mr. Tiley hat man for reminding us not to be so underwhelmed as we live and move through the necessities of our day.
