Was it you today . . .
Who renewed something that was neglected?
Who brightened something that was dark?
Who gave others one less reason to stereotype?
Who taught one more person about some principle of kindness?
Who explained one more reason to be slow to hate another person?
Who showed others one more harm caused by callous inconsideration?
Who sorted something that was jumbled?
Who cleaned and shined something that was deserted?
Who rebelled against something that was mean?
Who broke a threatening silence?
Who shared one more reason to live?
Who disarmed one more fear?
Who expressed one more doubt about an absolute position?
Who suggested it may be a good thing to love one more person?
Who educated others about one more source of unwarranted guilt?
Who illustrated to others they were not alone in feeling outcast?
Who remembered and honored a love they received in the past?
Who mitigated the suffering of someone who had little hope?
Who exchanged one more pleasure?
Who brought adversaries back toward community?
Who said, “No!” to losing one more love?
Who fought for the common good?
Who spent part of their day trying to learn and share one lesser known concept?
Who argued it’s okay to pursue happiness?
Was it you?
I hope so.
It’s always your choice.
Challenge whatever holds you down, makes you more silent, or suggests you’re not worthy of fulfillment.
