Its been a long time coming but as usual I've been procrastinating. It's about saying 'thank you' but I just don't seem to get around to it. About how people you've never known, perfect strangers, open their doors for you; welcome you into their lives and go out of their way to help you out. About how in a foreign land, with a familiar yet foreign tongue, these people- unknown to you until a moment ago- suddenly come to you as angels and share their food with you and their drink and their bed, while they themselves sleep on the floor. How they befriend you with ease and trust you and touch your life. And make you wonder how you ever will repay their kindness!
And that is the first mistake. For never do you have to repay kindness. All you have to do in return for the food and the drink and the shelter and the trust and the open doors is to open the doors of your own heart to them!
