I admired an old woman on a bus whose beauty was written on her face.
What is it? soul? Some say it is directly related to God. Whatever. Faith within people makes them better. And this is visible to the naked eye: the faces become lighter, the look is cleaner, the appearance is more spiritual, and even some inner glow is seen.
Young people today judge differently. In their understanding, the beauty of the soul can only be a creative person, a little out of this world, with a spark of madness. Artists, musicians, actors and similar comrades. A generation has changed, and views on life have changed. What do you think about that?
I love to travel on public transport. Recently, on my route, the roadway was updated and the shaking disappeared, as if it had never happened at all. Passengers change, the bus goes cheerfully from stop to stop, and I see who is dressed, what people are taking home, what the mood of the people is now.
Here's a guy who probably skipped work, and judging by his cunning eyes, barely restrained smile and ruddy cheeks, the holiday is just beginning. But his hand itself reached into the inner pocket of the salty jacket. There must be something very important to him, and, judging by the muffled sound, it is splashing in glass containers.

Despite the tender youth, the faces of the children do not seem fresh to me: red capillary nets on the whites of the eyes, dissatisfied facial expressions (this can be seen even through a mask), sharp movements. They are completely influenced by their mobile gadgets, and they do not care about the environment.
Other people came in: a nervous mother with a stroller malignantly gazed at the surrounding men, because those who wanted to help her bring the stroller did not volunteer immediately, and this, apparently, is a blow to conceit. Mom and daughter, laughing and cute jokes, discussing the imminent wedding. A whole string of first-year students who do not know whether they are going to the university building.

It was a woman, I would say, very much for... But this is only at first glance. Looking closer, I saw it glowing from the inside. Grey hair did not age at all, but, on the contrary, only imparted nobility and gave the image of sublimity. But it is believed that gray hair goes only to men.
She was standing despite the fact that the place was free. She stood confidently, in a natural posture, not relying on the handrail at all. When another woman of her age came in, she helped her sit down. It didn’t seem to cost her anything to slip into the centimeter gap between human bodies to make everyone more comfortable. And most importantly, no one even noticed it!

I kept watching: the old lady got a call. After apologizing to people in the neighborhood (though it was easier to apologize to the concrete wall), she picked up the phone. Just a few words, a big and sincere smile, and the conversation is over. It was nice to see the grandmother keep smiling even after the phone went into her coat pocket. So she learned something good.
2 stops from my final grandmother. It was only then that I noticed that she had a huge bag covered with some white cloth. And the whole time, she held her in her hands! I hope there was some light nonsense there, otherwise I don't understand how she was able to keep that weight at her age, especially when the cabin was loaded.
I don't know. It is not often possible to meet such people, but the feeling after such meetings is somewhat reverent. I feel like I met a real angel. It's just an old lady going about her business. But here is the inner energy and the purity of the look. It's a miracle. I think people reading this have had similar meetings. I wonder what kind of breed of people that leaves such an indelible impression?
