“We can learn from the grass, tiny fragile blades that somehow manage to push through the cracks in the cement of the sidewalk. We can learn from water, wearing down mountains into sand, from little droplets becoming floods, oceans, tidal waves. We can learn from all upheavals from struggles for justice because they only seem inevitable in hindsight-- while they are happening they feel grueling if not impossible. We can learn from Elie Wiesel, who shared his bread in the concentration camp so more people could eat some instead of hording it so he could eat fully.” — Shellen Lubin
We can learn from the grass,
tiny fragile blades that somehow manage
to push through the cracks
in the cement of
the sidewalk.
We can learn from water, wearing down
mountains
into sand,
from little droplets becoming floods,
oceans,
tidal waves.
We can learn from all upheavals from struggles for justice
because they only seem inevitable in hindsight--
while they are happening they feel grueling
if not impossible.
We can learn from Elie Wiesel, who
shared his bread in the concentration camp so more people
could eat some
instead of hording it so he
could eat fully.
