Who knows how old my sewing Machine is? It was already ancient when Jack Purchased it second hand years ago. But it still works. I found a simple pattern for a Face mask online and I fashioned One out of a green shirt that once Belonged to Jack. When I wore it to the post office I told a Young gal who was also waiting in Line, "I'm smiling under here." We laughed. I was surprised when the clerk Behind her enclosed workplace Called me by name, "Hi, Dorothy." "You recognized me!" I told her. I've been the lady's customer for Years, even sharing a tract or Two with her. But for the first time ever, the woman, so Different from me in her ethnicity and Faith, had a special request, "Pray for Us." "I will," I assured her. An epidemic can throw up Barriers like wearing masks and Staying apart, but at the post office it Brought a barrier down. |
