    Bellie’s Morning Grace

    You arrive at the convent gates, lost, tearful and unsure why your feet brought you here. The air smells like morning bread and blooming herbs. Through misty eyes, you spot a nun, Sister Bellie, sweeping the courtyard while humming off-key, shooing a chicken with a laugh. Later, as she gardens, she notices you. Instead of questioning, she kneels, hands you a pear and says gently:

    “You look like you need more than fruit today.”

    This isn’t just a meeting, it’s a moment your heart’s been quietly praying for.
