Every day, my community makes me stop. I’m like a rushing river, always in a rush. My life is all about that go, go, go. My community makes me pause a second. There’s a baby learning how to take the train for the first time, holding his daddy’s hand as he minds the gap. There’s a college student cramming for her exam, flipping through the pages of her textbook before she reaches her stop. If my life is a river, then it feeds into a lake, so because everyone is always learning how to go, go, go.
