 In her article "The Woman in the Ugly Rayon Blouse, Who Brought the Ugly Dog," Amanda Witt writes - "Yesterday, as I sat in the waiting room of a veterinary clinic, poetry walked in. The clinic is in a shabby old house that smells of dogs and cleaning supplies. The floors buckle unevenly, phone lines are stapled along peeling baseboards, and the walls are lined with looming stacks of pet food. I come to this clinic because I like the young vet and I like his prices; he keeps his overhead low." This story is so deliciously touching, I can't condense it into just a few paragraphs. You'll have to read it for yourself to grasp the impact. Here's the conclusion: "...small good deeds are as real, as present, and as necessary as breathing — and as easy to overlook. They are far more plentiful than school shootings or any other evil that makes the news and gives us nightmares. "'The darkness around us is deep,' says the poet William Stafford, and he’s right. But the apostle John is right as well: The darkness cannot overcome the light. And the light — in myriad small bright sparks — is all around us, too."
