Every day, my community makes me pause. Sometimes with a tilt of the head and a "huh, well that's a choice". But more often than not ot humbles me. It rejuvenates. It reminds me the good of humanity, from one quick half smile to another to a whole car of "Sir are you okay? Somebody flag down a security officer at the next station. Sir, we're gonna get you help"...and then a great in unison exhale as he's helped down the platform. Every day im reminded that I am a small piece but I am as valuable as any, as loved as any, as tired as any, and that above all else gives me a reason to show up tomorrow.
