I love this poem, Lynne. I was stopped at the image of the man’s face for some time before I could continue reading. It flows so well, so much to say, to give!

Thank you so much, Dan! Yes, he made quite an impression on me – we had many chats on my weekly visits, some time ago now. One of those poems wholly “given” – practically wrote itself.

I feel “the anonymous daily robbery of spirit / that we somehow tolerate…” viscerally… and I agree that it’s possible to be someone in this world who simply tries to help guard against this phenomenon on behalf of others (and, in turn, ourselves). Namaste, Lynne! ❤️

Oh, Stephanie, thank you for your words, so well said! I wanted to acknowledge this guy, who is representative of many who cross our paths daily, quietly doing their jobs and really connecting while doing so. Namaste, my friend!
