... too true! We can't start with the whole world, but we can start with the world on our doorstep, and every single life we touch counts. One of my oft-quoted thoughts belongs to Mother Teresa: when challenged that her work was but a drop in the ocean, she sagely replied, "Ah but the ocean is made up of many drops" - no-one could possibly say that her life hasn't made a difference... Stirring theme and "birthing"-kind of write, Dawn. Thoughtful and provocative as always, thank you. Kate xx
There is always hope that these sad thoughts will not come to pass. Time to reflect on the goodness that is out there somewhere, we CAN find it, and encourage it with hope and love. Superb write Dawn.
Outstanding write Dawn, one that still holds out that tiny ray of hope. The ray that has been diminishing in its brilliancy over the last few decades. Very positive in its aspirations.

Very well done, Dawn. It is difficult to maintain the Haiku form throughout a long piece like this. (I can't do it at all) Much thought has gone into it, and I was glad to see the positive direction it took.
The deep-dive literary meditations presented as stories, poems, and essays in The American Poet Who Went Home Again, A Mosaic of My Soul at Work, have captivated and inspired readers ever since its first paperback publication in 2008.
There is always hope that these sad thoughts will not come to pass. Time to reflect on the goodness that is out there somewhere, we CAN find it, and encourage it with hope and love. Superb write Dawn.
