I hastily push the trolley with 100 waterproof sheets (2 packs of 50), 4 pillowcases (yes,

\nreceiving different tasks, which-after the silence of the novitiate house-whisper pleasantly,
\n“you are useful!”
\nAs I run, suddenly someone calls from one of the rooms:
\n– Benny!
\n– But I have important work to do! – I say to myself – I have work to do, I have the 100
\nwaterproof sheets (those packs of 50), 4 pillowcases (the ones that arrived), the bag of
\ntoothpaste tubes, and…
\n– Benny! – Same voice, concealing a 90-year life story: made of storms and sunshine.
\n– Benny!
\n– I don’t have time now! – I always say to myself, but I feel my heart sinking: Because who
\nhas time but me? Me, who left “my home, my country, my brothers, my parents”?
\nWell, I stop the trolley, with the 100 waterproof sheets and all the other little things I carry
\nwith me. I put on the brakes. I enter the room. I crouch down, start listening to that trembling
\nvoice, which is hard to understand, but encapsulates 90 years of life: parents and village,
\nshelter and bombs, husband and job, desires and poverty, wounds and failures. Everything.
\nAnd the joy of finally having someone who listens.
