in offering kindness, we illuminate more than the space between us — we light something within ourselves. Every act of generosity, no matter how small, is a thread that binds us to the greater fabric of life. Connection is not built only in grand gestures, but in the quiet, unseen moments when we choose care over indifference. In lifting another, we rise together. In giving, we receive. And in every shared light, the world becomes a little less dark, and a little more like home.
