dot to dot


I slipped in my rubber flats.
An anonymous guy smiled to me.
If we can catagoriz types of smiles, this would be what I call an assuring smile that says, 'hey, it's alright to walk and slip'.
Just two seconds, he made me feel so good.
It feels good to slip sometimes.

What if we take incidents in life as connected dots, rather than the one bold line drawn as lifetime or long term commitment to someone to make us feel good, to make us feel that we have a shelter to comfort us all the time?
What if we are happy with those dots which are the collected feel good things that we get from different people and strangers we happen to come across in one second, a week, a month, a year and there is no requirement for a life time commitment?
What if we are not overtly committed to any one and don't expect them to make us feel good, but rather jump from dot to dot and enjoy it?

Like the dot to dot I used to play when I was young.
I'm going start playing it again now.

This makes me think of Orange's recent campaign - "I Am Everyone".
Not so directly, but in a way.
If I were them, I might want to try using the dot to dot visual.
