I was out and about in the world today. Partly to save money, as well as for exercise purposes, and to enjoy being outside on this sunny, fall day, I made the decision to walk. Twenty minutes in one direction, I arrived at the atm machine where I withdrew the rest of the rent money. Then 45 minutes from there, in the opposite direction, I ventured into the new Dollar store that opened this past week before finally making my way to Target. By the time I left Target, purchases in hand, it was getting late; I wanted to take the bus home. I crossed the street to the bus stop and, after about 10 minutes of waiting, I was approached by an older gentleman. Though there were other people waiting at the various bus stops nearby-- including a few standing next to me, he made eye contact, approached, and without saying a word, held out a bus transfer card. At first, not comprehending what was going on, I shook my head. But then I realized he was gifting it to me! It’s likely that at the beginning of his travels, he’d boarded a bus, paid the fare, took the transfer card that he was entitled to (he could use it to get on another bus --expiring two hours after its purchase), and now that he was at his destination, decided to gift the transfer to someone waiting at a bus stop. And that person was me! Happily, I thanked him as he waved and walked away. Minutes later, still smiling, my bus arrived. I got on, entered the transfer card into the appropriate slot, watched it disappear, then made my way to a seat. During the bus ride, upon exiting, and on the walk to where I live, I kept thinking of that man and his kind gesture. I just kept thanking him and the Universe for the lovely and helpful experience. I wish him well :)
