The Light

The enormity of the world’s problems is overwhelming. What can I possibly do to make any difference? I am but one little speck in this universe. Do the things that I try to do make any difference? If I am looking at this question from a world point of view the answer is “probably not.” – The feather falling, the leaf dropping, the rippling of the water, all far reaching in their simplicity…If I let myself succumb to the desire for big solutions, I will either lose my ability to function, or I will become crazy and lose all that really matters. – I realized long ago that loneliness was no fun but I did not dare risk my life. The point I am getting at is this; the biggest impact I can have is to leave this world with a positive attitude, a positive spirit. It may have a very small impact initially, but will, as time passes, multiply exponentially.  I must be true to the self that I know. I must find that true self and then I must dare to lose that true self in order to be true to that true self…

Be satisfied with simple things.

This little light of mine,

I’m going to let it shine.
