Today all kinds of interesting interactions occurred. First, at the soup kitchen, one of the guests gave several of us peppermint candies! That's the first time that ever happened! It was so sweet and I am happy to receive his gratitude.
Another lady needed me to listen to her and asked me to pray for her husband. I hugged her and said of course
I would. I always love hearing their stories if they want to share. So, so much love in just dissolving any barrier of "you" and "me" and seeing all of us as family.
Afterwards went to the cafe to do some grading work and grab a sandwich before heading off to the next gathering. There was an older lady who was looking for an empty table. There was one empty table in the back, but I pushed my papers aside and gestured for her to sit across from me which she did. That then led to me getting to listen to this amazing Holocaust survivor's life story (she is 84 years old!). It was such a gift to share lunch with her! Sadly I had to leave after a while, but it was so lovely to have lunch with a stranger and feel connected to her. As she said "The only things that matter in life are health, family and friends."
As I was driving to a friends gathering I couldn't help but reflect on the beauty of the day in all of the interactions I had, and just marveling at life....and then I am just AWESTRUCK by this full RAINBOW that I can see right next to me.....like the universe saying "yup you got it!" I smiled to myself for the rest of the ride. So many gifts in each day....am overflowing with gratitude.
