In these rather unsettling times, when acrimony seems to lurk everywhere, sparks of positivity, when found, have a heightened luster.
Such is the impact of a simple and small message recorded in colorful chalk on a sidewalk abutting the parking lot at Edward Little High School.
I first noticed this message one early July morning this summer. Three simple words: “I love you.” Two small hearts accent the sentiment.
That message remains there today. How, I know not. I do know that many feet have passed that simple chalk message since I first saw it. The fact that it remains brings a smile each time I see it, and it is a reminder that hope springs eternal.
Bravo to the many people who traverse the Edward Little campus and allow this simple message to endure. That says a lot.
