A slice.

A slice from an email I sent an old teacher... after the pre-send reading... thought it was post-worthy.

"I got to experience a vital and very humbling day, in terms of my growth as an SSW. I took part in my church's food bank. Our church is usually 12 people strong on a good Sunday. On this day there were well over 100 people, waiting for a hot bowl of chili and a bag of food. I'll tell you, not only did this renew my views as an SSW, by making me feel like I was doing something worth while, but more importantly renewed my faith, ABSOLUTELY, in humanity. In this business it's so easy to get so hung up on everything that's wrong, because there is a LOT wrong, with the world, in general... we know this.. for a day, maybe 2 hours... it seemed as though everyone put all the bullshit they'd been served aside, ego and pocketbook in the corner... to help. just to help another person. Isn't that what our practise is founded on, at it's roots? Not funding, diagnoses, medications, policies, workshops.... Just helping the people who NEED it."
