Each day I am newly reminded of my unworthiness: a dozen thoughts misspoken; another day when the good I do falls so far short of the good that I could do; myriad small interchanges, moments of sharing that strain to the breaking point my desire to be generous, helpful, and kind; months of careful work lost by a moment’s impatience, a careless word.

If I Can Stop One Heart From Breaking, A Poem for Healing
Sometimes it feels like there are a lot of broken things in the world. How can we help to heal our world and each other? Remembering a short poem might help everyone remember that there is hope and healing everywhere and that we can each do our part.
If I can stop one heart from breaking,
I shall not live in vain;
If I can ease one life the aching,
Or cool one pain,
Or help one fainting robin
Unto his nest again,
I shall not live in vain.
— Emily Dickinson
