When asked to comment
on the hateful words
of another, he simply paused,
reflected a moment, and said,
“I’m not a master fisherman,
but I know bait when I see it,
and I’m not gonna take it,”
showing us all a way to respond
with integrity and grace.

He took the higher ground–where the perspective is better, and kinder and wiser.
