Walking If you knew a look could change your life, would you let your eyes meet mine? If you knew a smile could lift the lonely veil of isolation, would you see the smile on my lips? If you knew that recognizing another's existence could lighten yours, would you smile back? If you knew that seeing the humanity in another could give you hope, would you slow your pace? If you knew that looking for beauty in strangers could erase your fear, would you walk open and confident? If you knew that you could be a source of upliftment for others, would you walk through life with greater purpose? If you knew, would you? © 2000 Richard Sidy |
