Grace

This fills my heart with warmth. Apparently, some of the trains in New York deliberately leave a minute later so that late people can get on board. They don't tell anyone.

Is it a lesson for life? A minute may not seem like enough time to make a difference, but it clearly does for lots of people. And it doesn't end up affecting when the train arrives. Maybe we could all afford to give that extra minute to those who need it, whatever that may mean in our individual contexts. And if we can do it without claiming credit, even better.

Maybe we could start a Secret Minute Society to spread grace around the world...

Yay. The extra minute is a beautiful concept.
