It's so hurry hurry hurry and me me me at every turn in the road. Crash and burn. Set the place on fire when you exit the building. We live like this, not really thinking that we're presuming an entitlement. We demand attention. We demand respect. We demand appreciation. If you don't give it to us, we'll cut you down.

And that makes us
Inelegant
Unkind
And unsuitable to invite over for tea

And then, thoughtlessly, something slips through the crack and for an instant we turn the corner and gently make room for someone else. It was effortless. It was graceful. And beyond expectation, the someone else returns the favor.

It's A Christmas Carol
All over again
And we think we're the first
To stumble into the fresh air
So we ring the bells
And call our therapist to cancel all future sessions
Because the discovery of kindness
Is more powerful than we thought
