“It is said an Eastern monarch once charged his wise men to invent him a sentence to be ever in view, and which should be true and appropriate in all times and situations.

Today’s poem out loud is inspired by an interaction I had with a stranger on the trail. She gave me the opportunity to reflect on how far I’ve come. I believe in the importance of recognizing our brain triumphs— no matter how small.
