The last time I stayed in a medium priced motel,
the urge to help the 'maid', change the king sized bedding,
was strong. It would have been so much easier to get it done, with the both
of us wrastling those huge sheets and blankets.

I wish I had.

I spoke to her in what very little Spanish I know, while she was working,
then handed her five dollars.
She blessed me and gave me hug.

Her name is Maria, and she does not hate me.
