I went to the Round House Cafe today and it was quiet, most of the tables were empty, this vase with two red flowers stood alone and in the sunlight at the edge of a plain white table. I sat there for a bit, the image had much emotion for me, and I thought generosity was the most selfish thing in the world because almost nothing feels better. Whenever I do anything for someone else, I understand it is a gift to me.
