There are
many times
in our lives,
when we will feel
alone.
It is
at these times
that we may question
our value
in life.
We may feel
isolated,
disconnected,
and on the outer.
This sense
of loneliness
can be overpowering.
It can
lead to
people
taking
their lives.
One of
the most
extraordinary gifts
that you may receive
from another person
is an offer
to walk with you.
“I will walk
with you”,
simple,
poignant,
powerful.
“I will walk
with you”,
says
I accept you.
“I will walk
with you”,
says
I value you.
“I will walk
with you”,
says
I respect you.
“I will walk
with you”,
says
I am here
for you.
“I will walk
with you”,
says
I want
to be
with you.
These five words,
in this combination,
change any dynamics.
When done
with compassion,
with respect,
with integrity,
with dignity,
they empower
both parties.
From the brink
of an abyss
to a situation
of mutual respect
and regard,
these words
can do it.
It does not take
a desperate situation
for such words
to be used.
It just takes
a little bit
of your time.
Share
your day
with another,
by offering
to walk
with that person.
Watch
a miracle
occur
before
your eyes.
For that is
the power
of sharing time
with another.
What
are you
doing,
today?
I would like
to walk
with you!
