Have compassion for everyone you meet,
even if they don’t want it.
What seems conceit, bad manners, or cynicism is always a sign
of things no ears have heard, no eyes have seen.
You do not know what wars are going on
down there where the spirit meets the bone.
From The Ways We Touch: Poems. Copyright 1997 by Miller Williams.
