The Kindness of an Open Door

"I feel the capacity to care is the thing which gives life its deepest significance."
~ Pablo Casals

I recently was waiting to be buzzed into a doorman building, but the doorman had stepped away from his post.  I tried to be patient in the midday heat.  Through the glass door, I saw an adorable blond little boy running my way.  He couldn't have been more than six years old.  And he opened the door for me.  I looked around to see if his mother had perhaps asked him to do that, but I did not see her.  "Did you decide to open the door for me all by yourself?"  I asked him.  Yes, he replied.  When I walked in and headed toward the elevator, I saw his mother, who had been looking for her son.  I told her that he had been very kind in opening the door for me and I thanked him again.
