Kindness, Quiet and Heavy Lifting

"With an eye made quiet by the power of harmony, and the deep power of joy, we see into the life of things."
~ William Wordsworh

We recently participated in a food-packing event for charity.  I was working on it with a long-time friend and he frequently invoked the name of a young teacher at the school where the event was held.  When things came up that we needed, my colleague would tell me that this teacher would take care of it.  And indeed this teacher did take care of all kinds of things from encouraging volunteers to participate to printing materials that we needed.  The day of the event, we needed help with filming and with great patience, he did that, too.  A couple of days after the event, I was looking through photos I had taken and I saw this young teacher again-- he was pushing the pallet of supplies early in the morning during the unpacking and there he was at the end of the event pushing the packed food onto the truck.  All the time quiet and unassuming.
