“It all matters. That someone turns out the lamp, picks up the windblown
wrapper, says hello to the invalid, pays at the unattended lot, listens to the
repeated tale, folds the abandoned laundry, plays the game fairly, tells the
story honestly, acknowledges help, gives credit, says good night, resists
temptation, wipes the counter, waits at the yellow, makes the bed, tips the
maid, remembers the illness, congratulates the victor, accepts the
consequences, takes a stand, steps up, offers a hand, goes first, goes last,
chooses the small portion, teaches the child, tends to the dying, comforts the
grieving, removes the splinter, wipes the tear, directs the lost, touches the
lonely, is the whole thing. What is most beautiful is least acknowledged. What
is worth dying for is barely noticed.”
― We Are Called to Rise
