Last night while I was reading before falling asleep, this short story or lesson seemed to find its way to me...
I think it was what I needed to read in light of all that is happening in our world.
Voices of Time: A Life in Stories
By: Eduardo Galeano
First Lessons
From moles we learned to make tunnels.
From beavers we learned to make dams.
From birds we learned to build homes.
From spiders we learned to weave.
From tree trunks rolling downhill we learned about wheels.
From tree trunks floating and adrift we learned about boats.
From wind we learned about sails.
How did we learn our evil ways? From whom did we learn to
torment our neighbors and subdue the earth?
"An eye for an eye makes the whole world go blind."
-Mahatma Gandhi
