A listing of behaviours that celebrate our simple humanness: cleaning or wiping your bare feet • breaking off a piece of bread and handing it to someone • putting the weight of a basket on your hip or head • eating nuts or berries while hunched over close to the ground • seeing something startling just out of your line of sight and very quickly stepping or leaping on to a larger object to get a better view • cupping your hands into running water to wash your face • the unanimous protection of a baby or child in a public space where women are present • when an elderly woman laughs and grips your forearm tightly ? • Touching someone's face with the back of your hand to see if they have a fever • Stopping to watch animals moving in groups (geese, fish, horses, butterflies, bees) • Helping an elderly person to walk or sit • telling stories around a fire • huddling together for warmth when it's cold • marveling at sunlight through leaves • wonderment at the brightness of a full moon • bringing food to sick or grieving families
