“Like endless rain into a paper cup”.
Went to the bins with a big bag of leaves. On the way, a young man came towards the bins with a bucket of leaves as well. Something in common. We chatted about leaves. And gutters, and such things.It was such a treat to engage in conversation, particularly with a stranger. I introduced myself and offered my hand. He shook mine and said, "I'm Adam".
I realised later that we had sinned, crossed into a no-go area without protecting ourselves in our excitement for communion.
Life is never easy on this lonely planet.
Ocado delivery came in the twilight last night. A tall young delivery guy walked up to my door, his hand outstretched, and my missing silver chain bracelet in his hand.
"Did you lose this?" he said.
"Yes! Thank you! Where was it?"
"I noticed it in the pebbles on the dark path to your door".
I thanked him again. He was Estonian and quite handsome.
Should I invite him in?
No, but this is the way life should be. Not furtive hook-ups on phone apps.
