Mind seldom does multitasking when the tummy rumbles and asks the million dollar question ‘Where is my food?’ The mission was clear – destination McDonalds. Everything else was secondary at the moment. A tough day at the office usually has a very bad impact on your temperament and I was almost swearing when the queue at my counter was not moving. Someone has either placed a big order or is having a lot of indecision in selecting their choice of burger.
I was wrong. Making his order was a young man. His motions were restricted, his speech was not very audible and he had a distinctive stutter. The girl at the counter just ignored any mumbles coming from the queue.
The man needed help and the Mac lady was doing a great job. I don’t know how long her day had been or how tough it was. I know for sure it wasn’t very easy, but she was smiling. Smiling all the way till she handed over his order and took extra time to add an extra sugar in his coffee on request.
The queue wasn’t long anymore. The people weren’t mumbling. All were smiling.
Some acts simply can’t be more accurately defined, other than through a smile. This was one.
Wishing you acts and reasons to smile
Rainbow of hope
The autumn leaves caught in the many small whirlwinds seemed to play to the tune of the wind whistling ‘merry go round the mulberry bush’.
The overcast sky was a stark contrast to the bright blue sky nature had painted a while ago.
The gusty winter wind added a spring to the pace of pedestrians, more so to the ones who forgot their overcoats. Ones in their overcoats, dug deeper into their pockets.
The evading warmth of nature caused a greater yeaning for brightness and warmth…just like one strained relation causes the human mind to look for warmer shores.
Pellets of rain hurled from the heavens hit hard on the heart of Earth. The first ones vanished, consumed by an accommodating Earth. The ones that followed overflowed… endless tears that can only be wiped by the rainbow of hope and the warmth of the sun.
I stood wondering how nature in her transition so closely resembled the vagaries of a human mind under transition.
Have a great day filled with the rainbow of hope and the warmth of a bright and smiling sun.
