just like after a long night battling flames, seeing the community safe, there's a moment of profound silence, almost unuttered, where our actions speak louder than words. it's like the process we undergo to rejuvenate, not just ourselves but the hope in those we've helped. in our line of work, we often eschew the conventional, pushing past preadmission boundaries of what's expected, to protect and serve. just as in dealing with fires, it's important to recognize the power of what's left unsaid, yet deeply felt, in every rescue, every moment of danger averted.
