You feel like a drop in the bucket? Who asked you to fill the bucket-----especially all alone?....persistence depends on patience, on keeping at it when there is little to reassure us. It would be too bad to give up, to sit back, bemoan the sorry state of the world and wonder why somebody, anybody, everybody (but not me, thank you) doesn't do something about "it".
After all, the Grand Canyon was fashioned by drops of water, as ordinary as they seem.
