Description - This an intersection, cobbled stoned, location where I spotted an elderly lady. She walked with her back stooped over. Essentially, her face was pointed straight down to the surface. When I first spotted the lady I was sitting with Irina at an outdoor bar, drinking Sveturi. A purty good beer. I'm not sure if I spelled it correctly. While Irina was speaking to me I focused my attention on the lady. My heart teared with sadness. The lady entered into a phone booth, middle of day, to urinate into a cup. I watched her as she exited the booth. No one noticed her. She was invisible. I wanted her to know that she was not invisible... Her history. Her life? She was someones daughter. She might have had siblings. Children? Why was she alone? A few days later, I was alone in this town, Vilnius. Irina had returned home. I returned to that outdoor bar to sip on some Sveturi. Low and behold. Who do I see? The elderly lady! My heart raced with confusion. Should I be like everyone else and ignore her. Or, should I just be me? I decided the latter. I asked the girl who served me my Sveturi how to say 'My heart now knows you'. At first the girl was confused. I mentioned to her what I intended to do for the elderly lady and why. This girl smiled. She shared with me how to say what I wanted to share with the lady. I told her that I would pay for my Sveturi when I returned. She said in purty good English, 'You made gift for two. Thank you for mine. I watch you. I know she will smile.' So, I grab most of the Lita, Lithuanian money, from my pocket. I head on over to the elderly lady.
