At The Door

The following is taken from Matt Good's blog (http://www.matthewgood.net/mblog/), and frankly is stunning in it's simplicity.

"After I got up, I walked to the bathroom and started brushing my teeth. I have a habit of leaving the water running when I do. And as I looked up at myself in the mirror it dawned on me that by wasting that water I had just denied someone else of it, someone who very well could die because of a lack of clean water. By brushing my teeth with the water running I felt a murderer.


But there was no knock at the door."
