The Inalienable Eleven

As it turns out, it is enough for us to do the deeds that we can already do,
and to do them where we already are.
To clarify this oft-overlooked Truth, consider the following facts:
*Visiting the ill & the injured in hospitals is awesome -- and anonymously
placing uplifting notes on the cars in hospital parking lots still does great Good.
*Reading to the elderly in a retirement home is incredible -- and listening
to an octogenarian share the wisdom of his or her life-story still does great Good.
*Volunteering at a local soup kitchen is inspirational -- and bringing
cookies to a reclusive or unpopular neighbor still does great Good.
*Becoming a Big Brother, a Big Sister or a Foster Parent is phenomenal --
and giving smiles & encouragement to the children you encounter every day still
does great Good.
*Preaching unconditional Love humbly from the pulpit is fantastic -- and
simply asking a member of another religion to share with you about their values
and their faith (and then non-judgmentally listening to them while they do so) still
does great Good.
