On the way home today, I saw another one of those gentle moments that are like gold in the big city.
The bus was packed, all seats on the upper floor taken. I´m at the far back, on the right. Suddenly someone´s cell-phone rings, one of those old ringing signals. It goes louder, louder, louder – until several people are looking around to see whose it is.
Then we discover that it comes from a man at the far left, all the way in the back, who is sleeping soundly as a child, despite his loudly ringing mobile. And there it is, suddenly: people nod, smile, exchange kind glances and grins full of compassion for the sleeping man.
