kindness of strangers

a cheerful man

a cheerful man
Written by Cathoel Jorss,

Heavy in the heart today and the German man I ran into at the mailboxes, who returned my hello so cheerfully, was a shaft of light. Coming through the heavy courtyard doors a moment later he met me and my bicycle coming out, and backed up his bulging wheeled suitcase, his handful of mail, his keys and his big bag of groceries so that he could prop open the door for us. Oh, humanity. You are a lifesaver.

    How lovely, it feels so special when the universe sends you a little ray of sunshine when you really need it.
