a seeing eye

as we prepare to spend the holidays with our loved ones, let us not turn a blind eye to those who were affected by the recent tragedies of the sandy hook school murders and the colorado shootings. i'm not sure what is going on in our world these days, but i do know we need an outpouring of love and compassion at every turn. there's a quote by plato that you've probably heard or read a million times.

be kind for everyone you meet is fighting a great battle.

more than ever, this quote rings true to me. for someone to have the capacity to inflict senseless harm on another human life is a cry for help, an admittance of strife, a feeling of being lost and hopeless. as this year winds down to a close, hug your family, kiss your friends, and give a warm touch of affection to someone you come across. you never know how much it might mean to them.

we are all connected.
