<br class="">
Do not try to save <br class="">
the whole world <br class="">
or do anything grandiose. <br class="">
Instead, create a clearing <br class="">
in the dense forest of your life <br class="">
and wait there <br class="">
patiently, <br class="">
until the song <br class="">
that is your life <br class="">
falls into your own cupped hands <br class="">
and you recognize and greet it. <br class="">
Only then will you know <br class="">
how to give yourself <br class="">
to this world <br class="">
so worthy of rescue.</p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 13px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;" class=""> - Martha Postlewaite </p></div>
