“Keep my anger from becoming meanness.
Keep my sorrow from becoming self-pity.
Keep my heart soft enough to keep breaking.
Keep my anger turned toward justice, not cruelty.
Remind me that all of this, every bit of it, is for love.
Keep me fiercely kind.”
~ Laura Jean Truman
Back in the Bluegrass and tired as a squirrel eating a whole bag of nuts outside the Smithsonian. Sure will be glad to sleep in my own bed.
