to forget about my values,
i swear i saw
Rosa Parks
Mahatma Ghandi,
and Mother Theresa
wink at me
on the edge of a swallow winged
note
fluttering like sunlight
through History
whispering
remember…
and after i told you
you asked
me
who do you think
YOU
are
to put yourself
in
their
category
??
so i said,
who am
i
not too?
We are all individuals, we don’t all have greatness thrust upon us!

Thank YOU, Kae! your post is very inspiring. I would have reacted in the same way. I love to see that power we have within ourselves to overcome stupid words and judgments of values thrown at us.
