No matter how long it’s been since you’ve considered yourself ‘linden’, you’ve always been (and will always be) linden to me!

Break the rules! Start a revolution! You have too much passion to give in to society regading something that IS who you are. After all, you’ve never been one to go with the flow, but have always preferred to take the path less traveled and it has made all the difference…
Love you!

Nice to see you wander here occasionally :+)

I’ve thought about what you wrote, and what Brian wrote. I think there are a lot of people who have figured out that what they’re doing is good enough. Folks like your nonprofit director or your college professor, for instance.

Maybe I struggle so much because I don’t feel I contribute anything which is much worse than just a little bit…

Thanks for your thoughts.

I used to work for a non profit group that had about a dozen programs… a food pantry, meals on wheels, a battered women’s shelter and one of them was a financial assistance program. We got a lot of calls after the Enron collapse. Calls from people who never in a million years thought they’d be asking for helps this way.

I asked the director of that program once, “how do you deal with it. You know all the calls and knowing so many people need help and are asking you for it.”

She said, “I used to wrestle with it every day and night. But a long time ago I finally came to the realization i can’t help everyone and so I do my best… my very best to help the the people i can.”

In other words, she did her very best with ever baby step.

~peace, julian

We have so much in common. After 28 years in SC i moved to Buffalo, then Ohio. I wanted to be a big shot researcher who would bring peace to the world (how hard could that be?). I am now a small teacher in a small college, telling students about the places i’ve been and how they have changed me. I listen to students. I am in awe of their need to heal the world. Life took me where i needed to go, not where i wanted. i never wanted any children, but ended up with 3 and a few others who have adopted Cheryl and me as their parents. Now I’m execting a 2nd grandchild (I’m hoping for a sister for Jacob) and I thank G-d for not listening to my desires.

Just remember that when God made the world, he made it of lots of small pieces. The largest mountain is made of many small stones. Each one plays its part and is important in its own right. If we wait for the one big thing we think we should do with our lives, we may be missing the many opportunities to do lots of small things that bring happiness, help and hope to others.
