One small gesture

Posted by Claudia Moser on 9:36 PM
Monday evening while checking the post I found that one of my packages was received by someone in a neighbouring house. I did not know them (I still discover who lives on our street) so I went over, rang and waited. No reaction for a while, but a second prior to the moment when I wanted to give up, I heard a noise within the house. So I waited and waited until an older gentleman came out. I shouted that I have a package, but he told me that he does not need any delivery. I tried to explain, I raised my voice a bit and then a lady started to shout from the house to come in. I started apologising and thanking them, but the lady insisted to in the living room. So I did and found a very old lady, probably very sick, resting on a couch. She was surprised to see me, being so young and a new face in the area. I chatted with her a bit, and when I wanted to leave she asked me to come again. She was so happy to receive a visit, I suppose. The couple reminded me of my grand-grandparents, so much enthusiam for such a small gesture, just to come by... So I decided that during my holiday I will bake a cake and spend 1 hour with them. Sometimes small deeds are better than anything. And I am grateful for their openess!

Motto

"A story is not like a road to follow … it's more like a house. You go inside and stay there for a while, wandering back and forth and settling where you like and discovering how the room and corridors relate to each other, how the world outside is altered by being viewed from these windows. And you, the visitor, the reader, are altered as well by being in this enclosed space, whether it is ample and easy or full of crooked turns, or sparsely or opulently furnished. You can go back again and again, and the house, the story, always contains more than you saw the last time. It also has a sturdy sense of itself of being built out of its own necessity, not just to shelter or beguile you."
