Noticing

I was at a memorial service two weekends ago, and there is so much I want to say about it, but I am still processing some of it.

Nevertheless, I did notice one thing particularly. One of the men speaking at the service was asked to step up on a raised platform and participate in a Buddhist ceremony, which involved lighting incense. He was a tall man, thin and European looking, (as I found out later) an advertising executive and the boss of the man being memorialized. As he walked across the platform, one of the legs of his elegant suit was caught on teh heel of his shoe.

It was that detail that made his sorrow apparent.
