A Dozen Things
A dozen things come swirling from my head as I stumble out of dreamy bliss. The comfort of darkness and warmth gives way to pressing demands at work.

Stricken
Stricken with selfishness, how to respond? Seems to me most often the choice is clear: put the selfishness aside and be for others. Some (many?) might say, “You’re not responsible for other people’s happiness!”, and “Don’t be a pleaser, it’s not what you’re supposed to be…!”, But I say, Be for others, Help others, Lift …
