Hope always raises its head again
Even after disappointment
The alternative is too bleak
Despair helps no one
The soul longs to hope and believe
That good will overcome evil
But history is littered with
The crushed bodies of the innocent
The harsh mechanisms of the powers
March forward unabated for awhile
Mr. Rogers would tell us to
“Look for the helpers”
Look for them and follow their example
Prepare ourselves to
Be the helper of the oppressed
Don’t just watch and wring our hands
Jump in and pull people
Out of the rubble
Our personal suffering does not have to stop us
From doing good to others we can still help
Look for those on the edges about to fall off
Help them
Look for them
They might be too afraid or
Not know how to find you.

Beautiful ♥️
Thank you!
I like this a lot. Thank you. We are going to have to be the helpers, the ones who act.
Thank you! Yes we can all have a part. We just need to pay attention to those around us and listen to those Spirit nudges.
Thanks for the reminder, yes we are all playing part!
