The Power of One The world, it seems broken. But what can be done? Don't underestimate the power of One. One can acknowledge the problems we see. They aren't about them, they're You and they're Me. One can decide to reach out and connect, with those who are different from what we expect. By learning from others, their truths and their tears, One can cast away prejudice, judgement, and fears. One can build bridges between you and I. It may not be easy, but shouldn't we try? It's not about cops and it's not about color. It's mostly about us not trusting each other. Trusting's a risk that we all need to take. Are you One to take risks for humanity's sake? If you are, please come join me. I'm One, and I'm ready. To stand for what's right, I'll be strong. I'll be steady. Your One plus my One, makes two, that's a start. It may be imperfect but it comes from the heart. Together we'll model how it could be done, so don't underestimate the power of One.

This is beautiful, and so hopeful when “one” feels helpless to do anything on a big scale. Even the little gestures help. Thank you for this uplifting poem! May I share it with my students and staff this school year?
That would be great! Thanks for the positive feedback. Let me know it goes 🙂

Thank you, so much. That’s what I was going for.
