What Can We Do...?
They may break our bodies…
but they need not dominate our minds.
-C. S. Lewis
Every book we read to a little child
Every kindness we work for another soul
Every bowl we fill while serving the poor
Every prayer whispered, spoken, or dreamed
Every cup of coffee shared with a pal
Every wheezy old joke about Pat and Mike
(Or, to be fair, about Trevor and Neville)
Every small joy sung to the universe
Is a beginning
They may break our bodies…
but they need not dominate our minds.
