Summer showers

Some people carry whole regions on their backs and somehow leave no footprints.

You know the type — the ones who fix the water line without a meeting, who solve the talent gap one student at a time, who build trust quietly, like stacking stones in the dark.

They don’t trend. They don’t ask. They don’t wait for applause.

But they’re the reason anything works.

If you have reach, resources, or a chair at the big table, you’re not supposed to sit taller. You’re supposed to raise the floor.

Magnify the hands that hold the place together. Pull their work into the light. Give them the microphone, the budget, the room.

Because storms get headlines, but it’s the summer showers — slow, steady, unglamorous — that keep the land alive.
