It all sounds so simple. An article from one of my favorite ahors...

“Surely, by the rule of three, this is it? Then I can live in peace and plant potatoes.” – Jeanette Winterson

And then I saw this come across my feed. Important enough that I wanted to share – but not in a group post with 27 other articles. I have honestly quite often thought this in the last er, almost 100 days — I WAS MADE FOR THESE TIMES.

We Were Made for These Times

  • Yet, I urge you, ask you, gentle you, to please not spend your spirit dry by bewailing these difficult times. Especially do not lose hope. Most particularly because, the fact is that we were made for these times. Yes. For years, we have been learning, practicing, been in training for and just waiting to meet on this exact plain of engagement.
  • We are needed, that is all we can know. And though we meet resistance, we more so will meet great souls who will hail us, love us and guide us, and we will know them when they appear.
  • Ours is not the task of fixing the entire world all at once, but of stretching out to mend the part of the world that is within our reach. Any small, calm thing that one soul can do to help another soul, to assist some portion of this poor suffering world, will help immensely.

It all sounds so simple…

“That’s the life I want everybody to be able to live, and I think we can deliver that.”
