When An Image Reminds you of ,,,

I myself being a creative writer, I am often alone when my mind is in a creative way. Most of the time I choose to be, sometimes I go out among people but sit just nearby to hear their laughter, see their facial expressions and how they interact with each other.
Then once in awhile, I will see someone, usually a woman sitting to herself fiddling with something in her hands or attempting to read but her eyes will be somewhere else. This is something I can relate to. I then try to imagine her thoughts ( I am very good at this due to a certain gift I was born with ) I will explain this on another blog post.
It's never awkward when she may glance up and glance about, sometimes her eyes would meet mine to I replay with a nod and smile and I go back to my writing. It was such an encounter some twenty-five years ago which was the inspiration for a character I created in one of my ongoing writing project- book three of a trilogy.
Such an encounter is never a passing instant, it has meaningful significance, trust me, I know. One must absorb it, the immediate surroundings, the atmosphere, her manner of dress, how's she's sitting or standing, walking. Then what? You move on.
There were three things that stuck in my mind about her, the dish that sat before her which she toyed with her fork, her picking up her cell phone as if checking for a text and her perfume which I took in with my nostrils when an evening breeze blew my way.
I think we all have such encounters, most of the time they are either over-looked or quickly forgotten. Often the importance of it is not realized until days, weeks, months even years later. It's purpose varies from person to person. I came across this one in one of my journal entries written years ago when I recently was reading through one.
I uploaded some images that seem to fit well with this blog. Oh btw, that perfume? I immediately recognized it, Chanel #5.

Everyone have a beautiful week, peace TonyK
