He didn’t know, he never knew, he just sat in his saved seat day after day and sipped a delicate promise for tomorrow.
I asked him his name and where he was from and he
gleefully gave me a glassy eyed ‘see you tomorrow’ which came with
a hug that felt like a true taste of yesterday and what was expected of each and every one of us.

No big words but the display of acceptance, humility, non-judgement and promise of compassion was greatly visible in those two sentences. The picture is perfect. Thank you for always making me see different sides of things. Lovely!

Great one. I smelled the fellow’s breath as he hugged you, glassy eyes and mumbling. Look forward to your next TWO. 🙂
