In fact, from the time you were very little, you've had people who have smiled you into smiling, people who have talked you into talking, sung you in… - Fred Rogers

"We live in a world in which we need to share responsibility. It's easy to say "It's not my child, not my community, not my world, not my problem." Then there are those who see the need and respond. I consider those people my heroes."

Little by little we human beings are confronted with situations that give us more and more clues that we aren't perfect.

It came to me ever so slowly that the best way to know the truth was to begin trusting what my inner truth was… and trying to share it — not right away — only after I had worked hard at trying to understand it.
