RMB One for All
Dear
Rita Mae Brown,
What
guides us, what draws us forward, holds common ground. Each wants something
more, something better, a better tomorrow, a better place to be.
Where
we differ lay in the details. The definition of “better” varies person to
person and day to day. Often forgotten is that better for one, at the expense
of another, is at a cost greater than any gain. Better for all at the willing
sacrifice of some, will reap unlimited rewards. What is sacrificed will be
replenished tenfold. Finding the place of better for all, is an art we have yet
to master, or refuse to see.
What
we devote our time to now will return in a measure beyond imagination. When the
heart stops beating, the spirit carries on. No physical possessions, nor piece
of land, will journey on with us. Yet every smile, given and received, every
ounce of gratitude, the effects of all our endeavors, will linger, here
and wherever we may go.
During
this presidential election, in the handling of global strife, and
discrimination, our actions define us. It is not the loudest or most obnoxious voice
that influences the majority. A silent vote from the heart can sway a nation.
Kind deeds will be paid forward instinctively.
All
for one and one for all. Every person for all people, each time for all time, generation
to generation. It’s within reach.
Sincerely,
Loraine
