I posted this on my blog three years ago. Very proud of this young man, who will turn thirty this year.
The photo at the bottom of this post was from a prayer service I covered last night for The Herald-News. Timothy had given me a ride as I don't have a car.
When I was done and went to find him, I found him away from the crowd, participating in his own way.
At any rate, I felt this piece was very appropriate for today. I hope it inspires you.
I submit a very nice piece, composed by my fourth adult
child, Timothy Michael Baran. Used with permission.
"For it is not the good or the bad in a person that
separates us from understanding each other's pain.
"Nor is it the wandering eye of the poor or the full
hand of the rich that separates us as a society, but rather the ignorance to
not accept one's fellow man as an equal.
"To not stand shoulder to shoulder with him in times of
trouble and to not lean on him in times of despair and weariness.
"It is for this reason greatness will never be achieved
by the human race.
"Forever we will reach for the stars and only grab
ideas as we confine ourselves in the greatest prison of the ages.
"Our ego."
T. M. Baran

He summed it up very well and I love the picture of Tim. Very well written.
