Flip side of that?
Everyone else is just as miraculous, has a viewpoint just as unique and irreplaceable. Just by virtue of their existence. No one is inherently lesser by anything save their own chosen acts against others. Some people, though miracles are also raging dicks. But that's a choice.fin

Take from anyone else got you here. Got you to this moment with this perspective that literally no one else who is, was, or will be, on Earth can replicate.

Regardless of who, if anything, you hold sacred or believe. Regardless of if you believe any of those events were directed by a higher power or intentionally done.
In pure mathmatical probability, you are miraculous.
Everything you've been through, every piece of crap you've had to shovel or 2

I'm a public speaker. I *teach* public speaking. This man is putting on a Masterclass and I am qualified to make that call.

Electricity and electronics.
Fuck I'm a Luddite, so y'all are getting an unhinged 15 hour rant involving conspiracy theories and anger about planned enshittification.

Try to find joy in the act, my flock, instead of the reward.
In the relief on that parent's face.
In the lecture you overhear the escapee getting once back in their yard.
In the strutting little dance of a happy bird.
In the quiet gratitude of a service worker.
In knowing you did Something.

A servant's heart is the maltitude of unrewarded acts of service you do to be 'nice'. And genuinely not resenting getting no recognition for it. It's being content with less than you *could* have, because you have what you *need* and prioritize making sure others do too.

It's covering the overage on groceries of the parent ahead of you on food stamps so they don't need to put anything back.
It's seeing a dog get out and helping their human catch them.
It's seeing a pigeon with string around its foot and untangling it.
It's tipping the waitress extra.

It isn't driving yourself to an early grave by pouring from a bone dry cup. It's taking on the work that won't get you seen just because it has to get done.
It's shoveling your elderly neighbor's walk in winter without being asked or expecting a thank you.

A servant's heart is seeing a problem and devoting your labor, mental, emotional, physical, to fixing it. Even if it isn't a problem you, yourself, experience. It's good for the sake of good, especially if no one sees. For the betterment of those who may never know you lifted a finger.

He didn't do it for recognition or fame, he already had that. He could have rested on that and just made speeches and campaigned raising awareness and publicity.
Instead he buckled down and did what he, personally and physically, could to fix the problem.
Not photo ops. Not publicity. Work.

Instead he took only what he *needed* to keep him and his bride (you can't tell me they ever stopped being newlyweds, look at them together in any photo, he is enamored with her) in the comfort they had before he was president.
And spent everything else quietly trying to fix housing inequality

No, to see a servant's heart look, honestly I mean it, at the life and legacy of President Jimmy Carter.
He had more than I ever will. Than most of us will in blunt honesty. He was comfortable and could have enjoyed a plush retirement.

It's easy to make self sacrifice and going without your entire personality. Make generosity your detriment. So so easy.
That's not having a servant's heart. Nor is obeying every command from your 'betters'.
My flock you know by now I don't believe in 'betters'. Just people with more.

As in this butthead evaded every trap every door left open for her, and every child sent out to try and capture her. But she'd stand and chew at you from 4-5 feet away. Just so you Knew she was better at this than you.
Never in my life did I sympathize with Elmer Fudd until this rabbit. 3

6 months or so ago we began this process with me moving up some rabbits. Among them Morticia.
Morticia is a pure black blue eyed clever little girl. She promptly escaped the rabbit pen and has been Pointedly Wild since. 2
