I wonder what our families would be like, if we filled each other’s cups up to the top.

Full of words that affirm and remind them that they are kind, and smart and beautiful and loved.

I wonder what our schools,would be like if our students came to school full of all the acceptance that they need, erasing the desire to please.

Each student would feel less pressure and more desire to work harder, achieve greater and go farther, together.

I wonder what our world would be like if we still cared about the human race, not seeking to easily remove and replace.

It would be a kinder, calmer, hopeful, helpful, brighter, better place to live.
