A moment of kindness
a poem and a plum pie recipe I cannot remember
At the supermarket,
picking up some fruit like a responsible adult,
a lovely old lady struck up a conversation
and shared her favourite plum pie recipe.
Among the bustling aisles
of people rushing to tick off items on their grocery list,
what captured her attention
inspired her to impart such a personal tidbit to me?
Lucy (The Egg Girl) regrets to admit that despite her efforts, she does not remember this plum recipe. She wonders how this nice lady is doing, and she hopes that she’s doing okay during these troubled times. She hopes that she continues to bake delicious plum cakes for her loved ones.
