While returning from a weekly market, on the stranded bylanes of Sao Paulo, Brazil... She was mesmerized with the orchids all around.. Peace Lily smiled at her from every nook and corner..
She was engrossed in the beauty all around .. hardly any person was on the road.. she crossed a beautiful bakery ... And immediately she was transported to the land of aroma... Delicious aroma of freshly baked bread was emitting in the arena.. she remembered the time when even her house was enveloped with this aroma with her mother's bread...
Her mother baked such delicious fresh loafs for them.. sometimes ther were fruity, cheesy, filled with herbs or simple bread..
She was happy for no specific reason.. she felt alive amidst the narrow lanes... Remembering the good times...
Suddenly she got to see a beggar sitting in the corner near a huge dustbin.. he had some bags and a tattered rug.. that was his home..
While passing the beggar she stopped ... She remembered how kind her mother used to be for all the souls... She looked at him and he looked at her.. she thought something and then, pushed her hand inside her vegetable bag.. she drew out an orange and handed over to him...
He squealed with joy and blessed her with a divine smile on his face.. it seemed as if he has found a treasure in a simple orange..
She smiled back.. she felt happier seeing the beggar Happy...
It is true.. that a mere act of kindness can mean so much to the other... For you it might have been just a simple thing as an orange, BUT, for him it meant everything... For a hungry person even a small morsel or simply a Smile, is the biggest Gift..
Stay Kind... Stay Compassionate... 🙏
