Parallel lives

They got on together but spent most of the time apart. She wore a wedding ring; he didn't. I watched her closely and was struck by her serene beauty and natural elegance. She appeared to be deep in thought. I wondered how often their paths crossed? They were travelling in the same direction but heading for different destinations.

It reminded me of a conversation I had years ago. And then I realised that's exactly what I'd done - just got on with it. Maybe that's all you can do?
