The lovely and talented Sara Michener posted to Facebook this tale of an NYC subway bodhisattva:

Sobbing toddler on the 6 train sitting with his father, who was doing his best to calm him down. Woman pulls a large plastic ring from her pocket, presses a button, and it lights up, flashing brightly with multicolor LEDs. Train pulls into 86 street. Woman places the ring into the hands of the toddler, who becomes immediately transfixed into silence, and the woman exits the train.
