I had a cancellation today and decided to use my unexpected free time to go for a walk. Here’s a bit of what I saw:
A grandma, with endless patience, teaching her young grandson, with endless curiosity, how to fish.
A young man, college-age I would guess, walking his dog and praising her so gently and genuinely that I’m sure she grew a few inches taller in that very moment.
A little girl and two little boys running toward the playground, as fast as their little legs would carry them, with their mom not far behind, pushing a stroller filled with parent-of-young-children necessities. (My heart filled with nostalgia at this one. <3)
I don’t know any of these people.
I don’t know who they voted for.
I don’t know the joys they have celebrated, the heartbreaks they have pulled themselves through, the challenges they currently face.
All I really know is that they looked like people doing their best to take care of themselves, and to take care of others.
Maybe that’s what it really comes down to:
Taking care of ourselves and taking care of each other.
And maybe that’s enough? Or at least a good place to start.
