tipping the scales...

I am feeling very grateful today, and I'm wondering if there is some kind of imbalance in the world.  I feel like I've been given so much, and there must be someone, somewhere who has so little...
Somewhere, maybe there is a man who does not have good friends, because mine are amazing.  Somewhere, possibly there is a man who goes hungry at times, because my belly is often full.  Somewhere there could be a man who does not have children, because I have two beautiful girls.  Somewhere a man might suffer with pain or illness, because I have a healthy and functioning body.  Somewhere there could be a man lost in the dark, while I feel surrounded by light.  Somewhere, it is likely there is a man without family, because my large family is incredible.
Somewhere there are men without homes, clothes, water, clarity of mind, wholeness of soul.  Somewhere there are men without love.  I have all of these in abundance.  And I am grateful for all of them, and for the imbalance that I do not understand.
I am grateful that men don't always get what they deserve, because I have far far more than I deserve.  I hope today to balance things out in some way, by finding someone who has a dearth, and give him from my abundance.
