Posted by Wallace+

"My religion is very simple. My religion is kindness." - The Dalai Lama

When I was a boy, an elderly man lived in the house over our back fence. His name was Mr. Rateree. We moved from that house while I was only in first grade. Though we went a mere six blocks away, that was far enough that I rarely again saw Mr. Rateree. What I remember, however, as though it were just yesterday, is Mr. Rateree coming to our fence on occasion, when he would see me and my brothers playing basketball, or chasing each other around the yard with sticks, or doing whatever we might be doing on a given afternoon, and he would call us over and stuff through the fence a candy bar for each of us.
