The Glow

Tonight,
make the list.

Your bike-store moments.

Not your achievements.

Your achievements
can sit this one out.

The moments
the glow showed up.

However small.
Especially small.

The time you helped
someone move.

The class you taught.

The thing you fixed
for your mother.

The stranger you fed.

Write down five.

Then look at the list
and ask one question.

What do these
have in common?

Don’t force the answer.

That list is your purpose,
speaking in its native language.

Feeling first.

The plan comes later.

And honestly,
the plan is the easy part.

Follow the glow.

Not the milestone.

The glow.
