Reflections 2020
We are sitting on the subway, yellow line going north to Bloor-Yonge Station. Somewhere around Queen Station an old homeless person walks in. He walks along the wagon asking for money for food. But all he gets is negative nodding and avoiding faces. He finally gets to us. "Can you help me with a few cents?" I don't hesitate to reach into my pocket. I know there are two dollars in there. I take it out and hand it to him. He sends me a smile and is ready to leave. But my son stops him. "Wait a minute!" My son puts his hands into both of his pockets and takes out all the change he has in his jacket. I am not sure, it can't be more than a dollar in small change. The homeless man sends him a loud, "God bless you!" This phrase has a lot of meaning to me. When people say it, and say it with a genuine good energy, I believe, it can bring a lot of goodness to the receiver. I am now thankful to the homeless man for saying so. He game me so much for so little. I am moved. The man stumbles away from us as the train speeds between the subway stations.
All of a sudden, a man sitting a few meters away from us but facing us stands up very energetically. He is looking right at us. He walks towards us, still staring at me and my son. I look at him and his approaching intentions. I study his body language. I know he is coming to us. I look at his left hand. He is holding a rolled up five bucks. He hands it to my son. "Here! Such generous young heart is really hard to find! Keep on growing!" At this point I have tears in my eyes. The best feeling in the world takes over my heart. Not only my son has a good little heart but there are more of people of good faith! TTC is burning with love and positive energy tonight!
We talk about being good and Karma for the rest of the trip home. My life is great!
