PEOPLE WATCHING IS A FASCINATING SPORT for which one need never purchase a ticket nor attend a crowded stadium. There are interesting-looking people everywhere, but I would contend that choosing one’s lookout point with care will result in more intriguing results. For instance, since I live in a college town, I can go wander around campus whenever I wish. They would probably take me for an aging professor. But the young people I would see would hold no interest for me. Some might be attractive but only insofar as all young people are good-looking in the way of youth. On the other hand, going up and down the aisles of a local grocery store the other day, I saw a fair number of people it would have been easy to stare at. One old guy, not quite my age, had a gorgeous head of white hair for which I would have unhesitatingly killed. A middle-aged woman was so put together that I could almost picture her earlier, back and forth before her bedroom mirror, carefully choosing her clothing for her coming trip to market. “Beautiful young people,” said Eleanor Roosevelt, “are accidents of nature, but beautiful old people are works of art.” Perhaps this is because, over the long haul of life, we reach a point where a little creativity is necessary to make us as presentable as possible. Or, maybe, it is the difference between natural and designed, carefree and careful, vanilla and rocky road.
