Toby‘s heart is wide and open.
He doesn’t need
to know your race
or creed or class.
Your politics don’t interest him.
Like the wise ones
of many faiths
he rejoices
when doors open and the hungry
are fed because
for him and them
love matters most.

Thank you, Jane. Toby has been one of my very best teachers, but I don’t think he’d take to cloning.

Joan- I loved this. Every positive word put forth ups the ‘positive ante’. I was inspired by the simplicity and worth of your words.
