My wish for you is that you continue. Continue to be who and how you are, to astonish a mean world with your acts of kindness.
I've learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back.
My hope is that we develop enough courage to develop courage. To try to have, try to learn to treat each other fairly, with generosity and kindness.
Every Day you should reach out and touch someone
If on Judgement Day I were summoned by St. Peter to give testimony to the used-to-be sheriff's act of kindness, I would be unable to say anything in his behalf. His confidence that my uncle and every other Black man who heard of the Klan's coming ride would scurry under their houses to hide in chicken droppings was too humiliating to hear. Without waiting for Momma's thanks, he rode out of the yard, sure that things were as they should be and that he was a gentle squire, saving those deserving serfs from the laws of the land, which he condoned.
Take a month and show some kindness for the folks who thought that blindness was an illness that affected eyes alone.
