An elderly couple stands quietly at a Helsinki crosswalk, illuminated by patches of afternoon light.

Moment

Waiting Together

Some journeys become so familiar that silence is enough.

There was no urgency.

No conversation I could hear.

Just two people waiting for the light to change, as they had probably done thousands of times before.

The remarkable thing wasn’t the crossing.

It was that, after all those years, they were still crossing it together.
