On November 3 my friend Tucker Mollers and I presented at the Kindness celebration at the Shedd. Tucker related a story about the unexpected act of kindness he observed while he was incarcerated at Eastern Oregon Correctional Institute:
Keep watch, dear Lord, with those who work, or watch, or weep this night
I’ve never had a night job, never had the responsibility of being “on” in those quiet hours after midnight when most of the world is fast asleep. How fortunate the rest of us are that there are people willing and able to take on that responsibility. Every night there are people working, watching, and yes, weeping, while we sleep. Maybe we have been one of them at some point in time.
