Good morning!
It’s Thursday. Continuing our parade of renegades and outliers and persisters, we now cast an admiring eye over the secret squiggles and wiggles and jigjags hiding at the very core of an otherwise upright, stalwart tree who gave its life to become next winter’s firewood.
Whether boldly visible or lurking right beneath the surface, there’s always more than meets the eye.
“As human beings, our job in life is to help people realize how rare and valuable each one of us really is, that each of us has something that no one else has—or ever will have—something inside that is unique to all time.”
—Fred Rogers
Onwards,
Clara
How rare and special Fred Rogers was and
continues to be! I believe he was the helper many times, and in many lives.
Mr. Rogers had it right, didn’t he? And the more diverse we are, the better our chances of thriving.
