How does a robin know it is spring?
How does a river know where to flow?
Some call it instinct, some call it science.
Whatever we call it, they know.
How does a seed know to push up?
How does a star know it needs to shine?
How does a cocoon know to be open to change?
How do we know we are meant to be kind?
Not every question is easy to answer.
But there’s one we can answer just like that.
How do we thrive? We show compassion.
How do we know? It is on God’s map.
