I went to place my order and told the women “hi” and “how are you” and thought after the same reply we all give each other of “fine” I was going to be able the place my order of a chai latte and a hot chocolate. But that day was different. She look at me and hunched slightly over the counter and said “i’m tired of this.” She continued, “ Everyday I watch people travel and all I do is make coffee, I want to travel and see the world too.” My eyes and heart started to focus in on her. I realized that this moment was special, you know when everything around you slows down almost forcing you to pay attention, as if god saying this moment is important. “Why is it that taking care of my basic needs of having a place to live and to eat well are becoming so hard? I can’t do any of that with this job. I want more for myself.” She paused and looked at me. I knew it was the moment for my heart to speak to hers but i know my own personal distrust of my own heart lately would make the words come out of me with hesitation but I tried my best to get out of the way and said, “This is a good thing what your feeling. This is the moment where everything can change if you want it to. Trust this feeling, this is the start of a new beginning .” She was silent for a moment her eyes said she was tired but she wasn’t bitter, there was a loving kindness in them as she said, “i’m sorry I didn’t mean to go dark and put that on you.” I told her “Don’t be sorry there’s nothing dark about that feeling” I repeated, “this is a good feeling, trust that.” I placed my order and as she took the next person, I silently prayed for her. It felt like a privilege to be there right for the moment she broke down and could no longer hold up the veil of hospitality for somewhere she no longer wanted to be. That was bravery and a moment of truth that I was happy to witness. Any opportunity to support each other as we break free from the illusions will live in that are too burdensome to carry is i think more important then we know.」10月28日 1時51分
