A Short Saturday
From the quotes email I get daily, this one was from a while ago, but it made sense to me today....

"Whatever you do will be insignificant, but it is very important that you do it."
--Mahatma Ghandi

It really expresses the paradox that while our lives are, in the great scheme of things fairly insignificant, our lives really are important to us and those around us. The world of the universe is immense and far beyond anything any of us can imagine. But that world is made up of many tiny parts - you and me.

Think how one tiny, tiny, tiny error in a gene will cause a great birth defect. That little gene is truly insignificant, yet to the person who has it- well, it could be life-shattering. The so-called "butterfly effect" says that the movement of a butterfly's wing on one-side of the world, could cause tragic weather consequences on the other side of the world. It doesn't take much, is what it is trying to tell us.

So stop and think. It may be more important than you realize.
