gentle reader

Dear probably-otherwise-nice Man who lectured me about people who don’t clean up after their dogs while I was walking my dog in a very clean fashion,

Dear Murderer who had a difficult childhood about which I am sorry,

Dear upright German Lady who reminded me of the rules of the road while I was riding my bike slowly on a dirt path in the middle of nowhere without another bike in sight,

Dear Decent Writer who is otherwise somewhat of an egoistic foot-in-the-mouth kind of timesuck,

Dear I-bet-the-west-is-wrong-about-you Iranian President,

Dear must-not-get-enough-attention teenage boy who insists on playing his music for everyone in the subway despite being asked politely to turn it off,

People often say we need to be consious and kind to the least among us, I know now they are not talking about the homeless or disabled. I try, with great effort, to be kind to the least among us; your list included plus, the broker in the tailored suit that obviously has more right to service than me, the fashionista whose phone conversation is more in need of attention than anyone's peace on the train.

I try to understand them because I know that I am one of the least among us at times and need a gentle hand in righting my ways.
