If you have nothing to eat but garbage, don’t say a word.
If the garbage makes you sick, don’t say a word.
If they cut off your feet, if they boil your hands, if your tongue rots, if your spine
splits in two, if your soul fines down to nothing, don’t say a word.
If they poison you, don’t say a word, even if your bowels slide from your mouth
and your hair stands straight up; even if your eyes well with blood, don’t say a word.
If you feel good, don’t feel good. If you fall behind, don’t fall behind. If you die,
don’t die. If you’re sad, don’t be sad. Don’t say a word.
- Bolivian poet Jaime Saenz
I have really been thinking about what a blessing life is lately. Although no life is perfect, there are uncountable amounts of hardships that we will never have to endure because of the nation that we live in. There are so many countries which are stricken by poverty, oppression, and sickness which we cannot begin to dream of.
Pray for those people, and their homes.
