I try and imagine every individual I see as an innocent child. I see them grow in this world…their stories branching in different directions. I see them age and try to make sense of the experiences that occur around them. I see them hurt and look for hope.  They reach out to others because they want to know they are not alone. Their vulnerability sometimes scars them causing them to hide from the light. There’s so much that goes into making us who we are and the way we perceive each other and the world. When I look at another individual, there is no possible way I could even begin to understand what they’ve experienced… but I can try. One of the most important things I’ve learned in this life is that the smallest amount of grace you can share with another human being can make the biggest difference. .
