What would happen if we had let those whom society deems “weeds” grow in their youth? How can you advocate for and accompany others in need?
What if you joined a friend or loved one for their daily walks one day? Gathered a small group for dinner once a month to lovingly listen to them or be listened to? Would the gift of their full presence be more grace-filled than their hurried and distracted presence? What gifts might you receive?
