This man has a light about him; an air of smart order. This
was what I thought even before I knew his name was Gabriel. He told me his name
in a Bond like manner, “Gabriel. Alan Gabriel.” His calm assurance in look and
poise were matched in his smooth flow of words.
Waiting for his son by a bus stop in Kingsley Park Mr.
Gabriel was happy for me to take this photograph. I was initially hesitant to
approach but as I dithered our eyes met and I knew immediately that it was OK
to speak with him.
A brief but lasting interaction.
I said, “Thank you, sir,” as I returned to my car. It seemed
the only fitting way to refer to him.
