Small things together makes something big

What Do We Do with a Variation?

What do we do with a difference?
Do we stand and discuss its oddity
or do we ignore it?
Do we shut our eyes to it
or poke it with a stick?
Do we clobber it to death?
Do we move around it in rage
and enlist the rage of others?
Do we will it to go away?
Do we look at it in awe
or purely in wonderment?
Do we work for it to disappear?
Do we pass it stealthily
Or change route away from it?
Do we will it to become like ourselves?
What do we do with a difference?
Do we communicate to it,
let application acknowledge it
for barriers to fall down?
James Berry

I think that Jesus Colon should ashamed of himself. Why didn't he help the women? I think it doesn't matter people about being black and white. It about kindness. The women seems to need some help. She had one hand with her suitcase, and other hand with a baby, and handling with two children to me it is really hard, although I have never needed to do that but I can imagine how it is like to handle so many things in one time. I think that Colon should at least ask if she needs help... If the women said its okay, she don't need help, thank you. Then at least Colon had tried to help. From the poem of "What do we do with a variation" by James Berry I found a significant quote, "Do we stand and discuss its oddity or do we ignore it?" I think it relates to the Journey of Jesus Colon. Colon had tried to make a choice on whether to stand up and help the women or ignore. This also reminds me of the poem, "The Road Not Taken", by Robert Forst. The poem of "The Road Not Take", by Robert Forst is like Colon choosing which direction to go, the future depends of themselves is on what they had chosen. Like Jesus Colon, he chose to ignore the women that might need help, which made him feel guilty for his whole life, but if he helped the women then she would feel better because he helped someone. No matter who is the person if it's a family, a friend or a stranger, everyone deserves to be seen and to be care.

EVERY SMALL THINGS MATTERS. WHEN SMALL THINGS ARE TOGETHER IT BECOMES SOMETHING BIG.
