asking for help

Some good news, in case you've been short on good news.

I was on my trash collection company's website and saw this:

I called to let you know that I am very grateful for the drivers today. I had my can up by the garage due to an emergency and was not able to take it to the curb. I called and dispatch said they would try to get it picked up. I came home and the driver did in fact pick it up. I just wanted to say thanks! -Horsetooth Reservoir Customer

I don't know, something about this really moved me. Maybe it was just the simplicity of someone asking for help (it can be so hard to ask for help!) and help being given (thank you driver!). 

I read Joy Hajo's memoir Poet Warrior last month (so good!), and I can't stop thinking about her poem "Calling the Spirit Back from Wandering the Earth in Its Human Feet." Do yourself a favor and read the full poem here! 

With gratitude,
Brianna
