Consent

Later, he requested the privilege of being allowed to tell his story to other patients here and with some misgiving, we consented. ~ Dr. William D. Silkwood

We consented.
Bottom line.
Sometimes decisions
come with misgivings,
with doubt and fear
and dread, with qualms
and trepidation.
Doing the right thing
doesn't always feel right,
gives no warm fuzzies
in the doing.
But when the right thing is right
damn the misgivings,
it's out of our hands
and we stand by to watch
the miracles.
