To see and be seen...
I usually move through my life not really seeing the femmes on my daily landscape--I assume that most people are reasonably nice and friendly, so I never really think "oh hey! that's a femme saying hello and acknowledging me"...
This morning, I walked into a cafe to order some coffee--as I walk in I see a woman do a double-take out of the corner of my eye , the movement of her head attracts my attention and I turn to look at her; a femme sitting at the counter with her butch, she looks at me and gives me the warmest "good morning" greeting and a lovely, friendly smile.
It was one of those quiet moments of kindness and dignity; I was reminded of the power in being seen and acknowledged. I returned her smile with one of my own.
