ALT For a Teacher Yes, you will be tired. You will be tested by their wild hearts. But those hearts are little fires in the darkness. Remember what the gift is. Remember to help a voice begin is a sacred act. Remember no one knows when they've been saved. Listen. Let the world say all is ruined. You know where the changes start, in darkness. Start again with the small things, the smallest things. Breathe. Be open. Keep going. Show them you are listening, in wonder. Gentleness is the next revolution. Help them all to say each other's names. —Joseph Fasano
