There is so much going wrong in the world,
I’m sure we could come up with
more than an alphabet’s worth.
So much.
Too much.
And our overwhelmed selves want to bury our heads
and wish it away.
Each of us knows we cannot,
individually, by ourselves,
change
all
of it.
Which leads us to believe a lie.
The lie:
we cannot change
any
of it.
The truth:
We cannot change anything
if we will not seek to change
one
thing.
So we can keep burying and wishing,
or we can choose something.
When you choose something,
it changes everything.
