This touching photo, taken after Congress declared that Joe Biden won the 2020 election, provided comfort to me after witnessing--in real time-- the hate and carnage at the Capitol.
All I could think was, "This is horrific. What can I do?"
Then I saw the image of this good man, Representative Andy Kim from NJ. On his knees. Experiencing the horror firsthand. Yet moved to simply ask for a garbage bag, and then help the workers with their most difficult duties.
…That bittersweet image reminded me of a favorite Mother Teresa quote: “Not all of us can do great things. But we can do small things with great love.”
