The people who inspired you most were probably not in your plan. You did not find them on purpose. They just showed up one day, did something they had no obligation to do, and quietly changed the whole direction of your life before you even knew it was happening.

 

Imagine being four years old, sick, and wondering if your class has forgotten you. Mrs. Peligull had not forgotten. She showed up at the hospital. She came to the house. She made sure the kids made packages so you would know you were still part of something. Carmi Levy is a grown man who still sees lights when he says her name. And then there is the story of a text that went green after the Maui fires, a wrong number answered by a stranger, and what that stranger somehow knew to say next.

 

You have someone like this. Maybe you have not said their name out loud in a while. Tonight feels like the right time.
