A GLIMPSE

When you catch a glimpse of a person you love through the eyes of someone else, it can be a strange experience. It can make you angry at them for misjudging that person. It can make you sad. It can make you jealous for no good reason. It can make you feel bad, guilty. It can confuse you as you try to work your way through the sticky mess that seems to be their mind.

And it can make you more deeply aware of things you already love about that person. And it can make you feel reassured that you know that person's true heart. And it can make you want to defend that person's honor and dignity and growth. And it can make you remember that you have a delicate and rare gift - a person you love, who will not be taken for granted.
