“Would you be ready to stand before everyone, and set an example?”
“Yes.”
“Could you shout in front of all
these people if I told you to?”
“Yes.”
“Then do it.”
I didn’t. Well, I’d waited until
he’d gone first. Of course he’d shouted ‘Jumbo’ without a
moment’s hesitation, which I followed pursuit. I think I saw a
glimpse of who I could be that day, a preview of someone who was
waiting to emerge from underneath my skin. Yet again, I’d broken a
piece of my shell away.
I teared up a bit. Not sure why. But this was beautiful to me. Thanks for sharing a slice of your history.
