Quote by Kristin Harmel

“Sonnet of Care This is what care looks like, Pure and chaste loving without reward. This is what conscience looks like, Strong and just reasoning with warmth. This is what nobility looks like, Humble and kind correcting one's error. This is what courage looks like, Firm and unbending walking across fear. This is what sentience looks like, Awake and upright marching with resolve. This is what character looks like, Messy and flawed but not afraid to evolve. Each human is a reflection of all humanity. Individual action determines collective destiny.”
