The Heart Of America

by Joan

It won’t make the news,

but today a stranger saw

me struggle to lift

a case of bottled water

and put it in my

grocery cart. “Let me help you,”

she said, and added

with a smile, “I’d want someone

to help my granny too.”

    Oh, no! Awkward kindness.

    These are the moments that matter, not banning people or building walls, these are what we love for, the simple truths, the genuine kindness

    I love this very much

    My best to you
