So many people,
at home,
at work,
at play,
just want to be noticed.
They want simple acknowledgment for
their contribution,
their commitment,
their common humanity.
When we step out of ourselves,
our agenda,
our worry,
our problems,
to let someone know
we see them,
we value them,
we care;
we are doing
some of the most important work
we will ever do.
