The news these days is filled with dread. War drums beating for Iraq, crazed snipers in Maryland, an economy slipping its way through recession. It's grim. But I still have hope: I stopped into Tealuxe today on my way home from a long day, and the barrista handed me my cup of tea and said, "It's on me."
I smiled, thanked him, and left. There is civility and generosity in the world.
