Day 077c: Offering their gifts Onward … (June 30, 2019)
As I had previously agreed with a later-starting Jean Marc, I paused awhile at the pathside bakery on the outskirts of Larceveau – long enough for Denise & Patrick to offer me a chocolate croissant, long enough for me to thank them humbly for the same, long enough to wait until they had walked on out of sigh before jettisoning said non-vegan (and, at least for Denise & Patrick, unknowingly cruelty-laden) faux-sustenance, and long enough for Jean Marc to catch up and graciously offer me a breakfast of suffering-free bread instead.*
“Just because life isn’t flawless, doesn’t mean it isn’t also awesome. Just because generosity isn’t pristine, doesn’t mean it isn’t worth humbly accepting. Just because love isn’t absolute, doesn’t mean it isn’t worth embracing. Be grateful anyway … Be generous anyway … Be kind anyway.” ~ via M.R. Mathias
*Jean Marc had almost demanded to be allowed to buy me the same the night before.
