“Remember that at any given moment there are a thousand things you can love.”
~ David Levithan
If there’s one thing I’ve learned in the three years since the outhouse began, it’s that you really can find something to love in every place, person, or thing that crosses your path. It might not be obvious. You might have to stop what you’re doing, stop what you’re thinking, breathe deeply, let go, and allow to surface in that moment the morsel that’s worth loving. I promise it’s there if you just let it rise. In a world filled with turmoil, when young men like Michael Brown are killed for no good reason, when a misfit band of insane militants chop heads for spectacle, when money buys elections, and children go to bed hungry in the richest nation the world has ever known, it’s important to remember what Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. once said: “Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.” Start by loving the little things. It builds collateral the whole world can use.
