This FB post really touched and inspired me, too - heck, you might even have seen it when I shared it - but it doesn't matter; it's a good story to share, wherever it came from. I like your subtitle of its being a parable because that's exactly what it is. The lesson is what is important, whether it's a story or a fact, as you pointed out in Patrick Conroy's quote from "Beach Music." I am putting a Post-It on my computer screen and my bathroom mirror that says "Bus Driver" and want to keep that in the forefront of my mind.

What a beautiful image of the impact each one of us can make in the world, especially at this time in US history. It is a way of life I've chosen, as best I can, to intentionally act in ways that may lighten a load, brighten a moment, or even - in silence - share the journey. Thanks for being that kind of person too, Hal. Your kindness and care for humanity has always been shining bright.
