Intervene

Should all the world be monkey-do

And turn a royal purple hue,

Don’t let the voting colour you,

If you have heart of green;

Head and shoulders through your shroud,

Now rise above the madding crowd,

Dare to live, and live out loud,

With courage, intervene.

Courage is a rare commodity. And that photo has rare beauty. Great combination.

Thanks Lyle! True courage in others has the power of inspiration – it raises us all, somehow. I love reading or hearing of stories of heroism and unusual courage – they restore ones’s hope in humanity…

  So true especially when there are so many stories that have the opposite effect.

Reblogged this on Teacher as Transformer and commented:
Some days we caught in the bureaucratic malaise and forget that rules need to be bent or even broken for the sake of people particularly children and others who are unable to defend themselves. People are not numbers and need to be treated differently than that. We lose ourselves in catch phrases like I hear what you are saying. Did you hear what I did not say? Or, we need to be proactive here. Do we see the decline in our organizations because proactive not the same as shake up the established order. With courage, we can intervene.
