Today's Spark
“My mind was sharpened by life's abrasion. I was like a blunt pencil, but I was cut and it sharpened my life's focus. Now I draw my life's picture in finer lines.”
by Innocent Mwatsikesimbe — from Vicissitudes of Life, chapter 12

Your time and attention can help a friend feel less alone, even when you cannot solve their problem.
Why does starting feel harder than continuing?
