is based on only my opinions and prejudices,

a heightened sense of community.
It draws our chins up and

in the midst of a holiday bustle.
If you are attentive,
you will notice the gentle touch
and will be able to respond. Remember...
There are no small acts of kindness.
Every compassionate act makes large the world.

petty complaints, and idle chatter.
About those, I just don't care.
