On A Hill-Top In The Rain

--by Twinkle, posted Apr 1, 2013

I went for a walk this morning. it was raining, but I am glad I went!

As I was walking up a hill I saw a man, bent double and pushing his bike up the hill with some difficulty. As I reached him I asked him if he would like some help getting to the top.

I lifted the bags off of his handle bars. They were really heavy.

As we walked I asked him if he was okay. He said that he had a very difficult phone call to make the next day and was out riding to clear his thoughts. He had forgotten how steep the hills were.

When we reached the crest we stood together for quite a while in the rain. As we parted I touched his shoulder and wished him well with his phone call.

I wonder if I will ever meet this gentle man again.
