Had several friends and mutuals comment lately that I’m a great person. One called me a saint. I appreciate the esteem, but real truth: I am going to let each of you down at some point. I will fail and fall short. The trick is to keep each other accountable and make amends.

I am just as far from perfect as each one of you. What you see as innate goodness has taken decades of discipline to foster, and I still screw up every day. Sometimes those mistakes are small and sometimes they’re big but even if you don’t see them, they happen. Love and amends.

Each of you can be better than I am now. Each of you is capable of more discipline, more love, more compassion. So am I. We are all capable, but it takes immense work and help from outside ourselves. We cannot do this alone.

Let me rest not upon any pedestal in any mind, but toiling beside you in shared work. Let us be friends and equals first and then discuss how we are each to improve, to manage our fair share of the work to be done.
