* I sip my lemon tea, feel the hot liquid warm my body as well as my spirits.* Contemplative is my mind, you ask me how can tea warm my spirits?
* The tea was incidentaI it was a soul's act of kindness that has given such a beautiful start to my Tuesday morning.
* A little girl waits for a school bus every morning. An elderly sweet lady waits for the little girl every morning.
* To give a bunch of freshly picked flowers from her garden. To speak a few words of kindness.
* The little girl is excited to get lovely flowers and tell the sweet lady about her school.
* What a delicate, un-named relationship they share.
* A thread of kindness & innocence binds them together.
* The little girl being my Mallika, the elderly lady our sweet neighbour & the fresh yellow hibiscus is from her garden:-)
* Touched by this act I thanked her for the flowers and as I turned to leave, she said,"My daughter too was like her...when she was little." reminiscing her daughter's childhood.
* I had a lump in my throat and quickly walked away hiding a teardrop.
* As I placed the flowers in water I realised how beautiful life is and how people touch our lives in different ways.

Sorry I guess I don't have a full fledged rangoli design but do drop by and take a look:-)
I have a tear in my eye and a lump in my throat and a tear in my eye too after reading your words. Acts of kindness always make me tear up.
It make my heart smile to know your little Mallika has such a beautiful person to count as one of her
friends! After the gift of friendship, I believe flowers must be the nicest gift.
Thank you for stopping by today Arch.
You brighten my day. Your story and daughter too!
