Something i want to flag is the actions of the visa clerk towards the end of this thread. I think about her a lot. A tiny act of adminstrative rebellion that she didn't have to do. But doing it cascaded into saving a life. I often wonder if she ever knew the huge consequence of that small act.
well now i'm crying. 🥺
It's a lovely reminder to all of us to look for the places we can creatively apply the specific lever we have in our hand to a situation in order to do good.
I think a lot about Chiune Sugihara, a diplomat who worked at the Japanese embassy in Lithuania, he issued thousands of travel visas via Japanese territory so Jews could flee to safety. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chiune_...
amen. I have been thinking about that in particular all morning.
