Soul Food

Often we forget how important those small kindnesses are.  Smiling at each other.  Listening profoundly.  Sharing quiet time.

This truth hit home today when a friend -  recovering from recent surgery - asked me to bring the "same tuna salad" I'd made for her twenty years ago after another illness.  Tuna - such mundane food - suddenly assumed  deeper meaning - embodying friendship, love, mutual care.  Today it's more than lunch;  it's a banquet, a feast for the soul, and it's nourishing both of us.
