The Commodity of Kindness
Kaira
Stretching back my arms up high, I carefully worked on the high bun I was
trying to fix with several bobby pins. Today—and until nine o’clock—I was
dedicated to making sure that everything in my house reflected class.
As I checked my appearance in the mirror, I caught a couple of pins that
weren’t doing what they were supposed to. Gently pulling them out and
readjusting, I thought about how proud my grandmother would have been.
It had been six months since she had passed away, and this was my first
fundraiser since her passing. I needed to honor her memory by carrying on
the tradition. And her passion was and always had been, serving the church.
Adding a touch of lip-tint with the small, soft applicator, I mused over
how she would disapprove of the color I was adding. “Nothing will top the
beauty God gave you, darling Kaira,” she would say.
At twenty-nine, I was beginning to have my doubts. Wasn’t she also the
woman who frowned upon every male friend I had brought home? And
wasn’t she the one who refused to remarry after my grandfather had passed
away? Having spent the last twelve years of her life a lonesome widow, she
carried her suffering like a medal.
That was where we disagreed the most.
I loved the church and what it did to serve the underprivileged, but I also
couldn’t shake the feeling that God was much greater than what my
grandmother had believed. He was grand, vast and he wanted me to be
happy. If it weren’t for that firm faith, I would have stopped helping the
church by now. My inheritance was generous enough to grant me a
comfortable life, and my philosophy studies had rendered me questioning.
Constantly questioning everything… except kindness and generosity
toward fellow men.
Even if God thought it was best to take away my parents when I was only
seven. Even if that swerving car driven by a drunken driver had mercilessly
torn my sense of safety and security to shreds.
I trusted my instincts and intuition, and they constantly told me that I was
exposed to so much pain only to empathize, care, and lend a helping hand
to those who suffered.
Satisfied with my work-ready appearance, I smoothed the wrinkles out of
my white t-shirt, tucked it into my high-waist jeans, and left the room.
“Good morning, Miriam.” Over the kitchen counter downstairs, I smiled
at my house manager, who immediately extended a hand with a steaming
mug of coffee for me.
“Good morning, Ms. Bradley.” Resting her arms on the counter, she
crossed them and said, “Everyone’s here. They started with the garden and
will work their way in, as you advised.”
“Great.” I sat down on the barstool. “I’ll finish this and go give them a
hand.”
