We may look at the world around us, but somehow we manage not to see it until whatever we’ve become used to suddenly disappears.   36  , for example, the neatly-dressed woman I   37    see —or look at — on my way to work each morning.
For three years, no matter   38   the weather was like, she was always waiting at the bus stop around 8:00 am. On   39  days, she wore heavy clothes and a pair of woolen gloves. Summertime   40   out neat, belted cotton dresses and a hat pulled low over her sunglasses.   41  , she was an ordinary working woman. Of course, I   42   all this only after she was seen no more. It was then that I realized how   43   I counted on to see her each morning. You might say I   44   her.
“Did she have an accident? Something   45  ?” I thought to myself about her   46  . Now that she was gone, I felt I had   47   her. I began to realize that part of our   48   life probably includes such chance meetings with familiar   49  : the milkman you see at dawn, the woman who
  50   walks her dog along the street every morning, the twin brothers you see at the library. Such people are 51 markers in the landscape of our lives. They add weight to our   52   of place and belonging.
Think about it.  53  , while walking to work, we mark where we are by   54  a certain building, why should we not mark where we are when we pass a familiar, though   55  , person?
