Patriotic are the poor in spirit,
for they shall see a nation rise when all are lifted.
Patriotic are those who mourn,
for they shall shift sorrow into justice.
Patriotic are the meek,
for they shall lead with wisdom, not pride.
Patriotic are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
for they shall build a land where truth prevails.
Patriotic are the merciful,
for they shall heal the wounds of division.
Patriotic are the pure in heart,
for they shall serve with honor, not greed.
Patriotic are the peacemakers,
for they shall weave unity from discord.
Patriotic are those persecuted for righteousness,
for they shall stand unshaken, shaping a better way.
Daily writing prompt
Are you patriotic? What does being patriotic mean to you?

I really hate talking about myself, but if I have to...
I’m K.L. McDaniel, the person behind TheOtherKLM. I’m an introvert with extrovert moments, a fitness-minded person fighting later-age fat, and someone trying to keep life somewhat organized without pretending it isn’t a mess.
Here, I write about the things I keep coming back to: movement, mental health, learning, self-awareness, and the strange little contradictions that make people interesting. I’m not here to act like I have everything figured out. I’m here to think through it, laugh when possible, and maybe find a little balance in the middle of the clutter.
So, that’s me. More or less.
