Extraordinary Things Happen In Ordinary Lives

Extraordinary things happen in ordinary lives, the kind that take your breath away and for which you once again believe that all this we live makes sense. In ordinary lives the events that make a difference take place, even if they are not reflected in a book, a movie or on a cover with someone inflated by the ego.

We have been led to believe that the extraordinary is what never happens to most mortals, but it is not true. Both you and I have surely witnessed incredible things in the exhausting routine of daily life, in the silent subway car and when we look out the window to see something different from that landscape that seems to contain nothing interesting.

In ordinary lives there are unexpected encounters

Many times we think that we launch into one more day of our existence that will not be more than one more date on the calendar, with nothing that has value to be noted.

But in ordinary lives there are chance encounters that can change everything. One morning when you walk through a park and someone older than you but full of vitality approaches you because they need a smile.

A chance meeting that can lead to other walks in which you tell him how confusing your future seems to you and he tells you how wonderful it would be to have that feeling again. Memories, priceless life lessons, and sincere company that neither of us expected.

In ordinary lives, encounters can happen on a journey with someone with whom you seem to connect immediately, telling what is the reason for that journey. For you, it may just be a visit to a friend, for him, perhaps, the way to leave many things behind and start a new life.

When the farewell comes you know that it is rare to see each other again, but it seems more beautiful that way. You will always remember that person, and your head will spin as to whether that boy you met many years ago managed to be happy.

Meeting of two people in a taxi to share expenses who have ended up sharing their lives together. In ordinary lives, extraordinary encounters occur in which two worlds come together to meet each other.

In ordinary lives there are stories of change, like that of a child with a broken childhood, but who managed to find himself despite everything and everyone, and who today has fulfilled his dream of graduating from university.

You will welcome the last note with pride and walk back to your small apartment looking around and knowing that you are experiencing a unique sensation in your life. You will come across ordinary people who do their shopping and go for a walk, being one of the ordinary crowd that changes their life and therefore the world.

Or that woman who, after a marriage subjected to the yoke of indifference and annulment, leaves her painting class . Class in which he has found for the first time in many years people with whom he can talk about beautiful things, without fear of being told that he only says nonsense.

She feels happy and full, even if it is just an ordinary class organized by a lifelong association in her neighborhood, which now seems to have a different rhythm and a special brilliance for her.

Dogs and children playing in nature, so beautiful and ordinary

In ordinary lives there are stories full of beauty and feelings. A most common scene: a boy who builds figures out of the ground, next to a dog who watches him carefully and who would be delighted to undo everything he is doing.

He approaches and the child does not seem to care: he writhes on the ground with him, caresses his snout and starts running for him to chase him. Excited and full of innocence, both of them make their companions , their mother and their owner , laugh .

Joy is so contagious that nothing more needs to be said. The boy says goodbye to his special friend, it seems that it is going to rain. The trees begin to react to the storms that come stronger and stronger and make their leaves fall even more.

As they fall, panic begins to take hold of the people who are there, although many of them like the smell of wet that suggests a downpour. They now dream of taking refuge in their home drinking a cup of hot milk, watching the rain fall through the window.

They are ordinary stories and people, but never underestimate them because many of them give meaning to life, although they are never reflected forever. Therein lies its charm.
