Not Young, Still Restless (2012) - Plot & Excerpts
It was obvious that there might be injuries, and I immediately pulled over. Caren, who was nine years old at the time and very frightened, yelled, “Mom, no, keep going, let’s get out of here!” I explained that we couldn’t keep going if someone needed our help. At that moment she didn’t care. All she knew was that she was scared. “There are lots of other people around to help them, Mom. Why do we have to do it?” Collin, age eleven, looked at her and said, “Because we have no choice.” “We have no choice” is exactly what I believe about our responsibility as citizens of this planet. We’re all caretakers here. We’re all custodians, nothing more, nothing less, and we’re all interconnected. Every hungry child, every abused or neglected human or animal, every living thing in need of simple kindness diminishes every one of us, and I don’t want the karma of knowing I could have helped but didn’t.
