1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 My name is Donna-Michelle St. Bernard and this is my sixth thought. I want to be worthy in whatever service I’m able. But worthy’s a short swerve away from “of use” Opposite of refuse, perilously close to productive, which is nothing like worthy, as a word, and useless to it as a companion concept. Worth is more like work – no, that’s a trap. It’s more like value, or values, in my calculus.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; I am neither parts nor a sum but a thrumming existence resistant to quantification, however benevolent.&amp;nbsp; I’m relevant, I’m broken, I’m dented, I’m perfect, I’m junk.&amp;nbsp; And junk is beautiful and you are, too.&amp;nbsp; I value you.
