Letter 4555
Two travelers, walking separately. They meet at a fallen tree across the path.
Each could climb over, and go on their way.
They spend the morning, and remove the block. Why?
❖
Each wanted the other to know they cared for the wider world. Alone, unseen, they might have made a different decision.
Let me live as if the world is watching all of my actions.
Consider:
Can I make decisions that I would later be pleased with today?
