"If you are more fortunate than
others, it is better to build a
longer table than a taller fence."
~Tamlyn Tomita
Ran into this bit of wisdom this
early morn. Alas, per often, the
author was not honored . . .
one of my pet peeves.
I love the simple beauty of the
quote, its wisdom, its kindness.
Sorrowfully, we live in a world
today where we are fearful of
strangers, reluctant to engage.
I get this; I live in these current
times as well. So, I choose to
take the quote metaphorically.
Naught wrong with doing what
you can do . . . as long as you
do something.
Smile at shoppers as you walk
down the aisle. Get something
off the top shelf for that short
little old lady. Let another car
into the line of traffic. Wave
in thanks to the driver that lets
you in.
A longer table might just mean
being kind in a rather difficult
world.
