Words for the Day

We can as individuals do so little to help the sad and suffering in the world
The lonely, bereaved, imprisoned, despised, exiled, sick in mind and body, the cold, the hungry
Yet we can reach out to those within our knowledge, with courtesy
and kindness, an unexpected gift, a visit
Treating them with the respect that they deserve
Honouring their courage. Listening to their stories.
For every kindness spreads in a shining circle; see how good people
everywhere set rings of light across the darkness,
rings that link and interlock
PAM BROWN B 1928
