I build websites, houses, and a variety of other worthy things. I am sure that what I do has a meaning on some level for someone so with that purpose I do. I have found that the smallest of things can actually have impacts that reach far into the future.
As someday unfolds, my hope would be that what I did and do will mean something. It is possible to make significant changes in the world with subtle consistent actions. Just like a garden, the fruit of planting may not be seen for some time, and watching won’t bring it about any faster. Do, and continue to do, without tiring planting the seeds that we may never live to see grow, but that produce fruit for generations to come.
Now is a time for such thoughts. When hope seems to be all we have it is time to consider the butterfly struggling in the cocoon, the struggle is what fully develops it’s wings, and without the struggle the butterfly will die. We are in the midst of the greatest test humanity has ever faced, a struggle if you will, and it is time for strength to wrest us from that we fear.
