In everyone’s life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit. ~ Albert Schwheitzer
NOTE: We need each other. Even the most independent, self-reliant individuals need others. When we are awake to the need in others we have an unique opportunity to offer our assistance. I recall when my wife an I were driving on I-10 east of Tucson, Arizona. It was a hot desert day. We stopped to get gas and use the restroom. When we were getting ready to pull away from the pump, my wife put her hand on my forearm and pointed to a car in the next island. A little girl, perhaps five or six years old, fell down and was crying (really screaming loudly). Her parents were trying to console her and watch their three other children. My wife reached into the glove box and pulled out a package of Dora bandages (she loved Dora bandaids). She took several bandaids out and went to the family. She showed them to the little girl and handed them to the girl’s mom. The little girl stopped crying. She was admiring her Dora bandaid. Sometimes one person makes all the difference in another’s life. We do need each other.
