“I may only be a speck of dust, floating in the universe vast, but I am a very interesting speck. I intend to make some waves, even if they be as small as me. I will bring a speck’s worth of love to life, a speck more of hope, a speck more of laughter. I will add a speck of compassion, to tip the scales of creation toward the side of every speck who seeks mercy. A speck of dust I may only be, but a speck of light is still light to those who sit in darkness.” Poem by Steven Charleston, a Native American elder, a citizen of the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma, and a bishop in the Episcopal Church
