Today I got onto the train to the singing and chattering of a fellow passenger. She seemed to be talking to her reflection, no conversation topic off limits. Before the train took off, the conductor asked her if she was ok, to no response. She sang about Jesus and the directions for a bit until a family with 5 kids most of whom in strollers. The gentleman talking to the parents catalogued all of their ages as the woman singing to her reflection stopped singing to pass out Rice Krispie treats to the kids. Without faltering, without deliberation of what she had or what she saved. She saw some kids on the train, and gave them a treat. So simple, and so kind.
