[bodytext] => From a storm-tossed sea, half of the bridge was swept away. Many left hoping for any means “to rescue them that day-.” Stuck on a bridge, “who could move or find destiny’s dream…? Each conjured “the how” for such-a-rescue, for a survival team. Sure, there are many ones “gifted” with not platform to shine. Their future gifts can be ‘lost, ’ without “medicine and wine…” Please, don’t let this be-! Lives can die-out in humanity’s sea… Ones must pay the toll, create a means, and change dire reality. While once at a bus stop, an old lady asked me for a dollar bill. Smiling, knowing her need, I gave her a 5-dollar note for-her-fill. Oprah knew the principle from “the ripples of a stone thrown…” Thought she’d pay for ones behind, the bridge’s toll shown-. Actions thus have a reaction, with each deed-seeds to grows. Of Oprahs' (in-kind) an Internet Angel Network Team flows. A TV showed a boy’s take: pay it forward, a revolutionary idea. That a child could do what no adult did, inspiringly what a thrill. Everywhere others 'play-it-forward,' paying the toll for comfort. Acts of grace, scattered over, paying a toll for ones coming after.
