Fifteen years ago, I made a living by driving a taxi. One time I arrived in the middle of the night for a pickup at a building that was
36 except for a single light in a ground floor window. I walked to the door and
37 .
A small woman in her 80’s opened the door. I took her suitcase to the cab then returned to
38 her into the cab. She thanked me for my kindness. When we got in the taxi, she gave me a(n)
39 , then asked, “Could you drive through
40 ?”
“It’s not the
41 way,” I answered.
“Oh, I don’t
42 ,” she said. “I’m in no hurry. I’m on my way to a hospice (临终关怀医院).”

“You gave an old woman a little moment of

I squeezed her hand, then walked into the dim morning light. Behind me, a door shut.
I didn’t

54 in thought.
We’re used to thinking that our lives focus on great moments. But great moments often
55 us unaware.
