(An older woman, a perfect stranger, came up to me and said that I was beautiful, that God was smiling upon me. Something like that. I should have written it down. It was a particular moment of grace and I wasn't expecting it. I fumbled the return compliment and then had a conversation about orchids with two young people whom no one would expect to have orchids. Stereotypes are stupid. Especially the ones in my brain that I haven't noticed moving in.)
