PARKING LOT MEMORY

 My friend has a fitness pass that allows her to bring a friend. I get to work out for free, and she gets the motivation to go when I join her. It’s working for the both of us.

We left the gym, and were standing between the two parking lots, deciding our next workout. She had parked where I always do, and she was hating it. I parked where she usually does, and laughed that she didn’t do it too!

The sky was painted with a vivid pink and muted purple. The sun had set, and its last reflections backlit the scattered clouds in grey. 

I heard the honking, and looked up just in time to see a gaggle of Canada geese flying across the sunset, crossing our vision like a live version gif. 

As they moved across from East to West, I followed their action and noted above them a dark expanse with a tiny crescent moon in its typical waxing association that marks flags across middle eastern countries.

It was a splendid live moment, and being shared, however briefly, made it that much more precious.
