There are times,
beholding the wounds of the world,
we feel inadequate.
We haven't done enough.
Yes, there are those who give their blood on the ramparts,
who are tireless in their work for justice and healing.
It is only together that we are they.
Remember, you are not asked to save the world,
or even a single creature.
You are asked to listen,
to hear what you are called to do,
great or small,
and to do that.
In a stone wall I walk past every morning,
there are small stones
that hold the great ones in place.
In the chorus you only sing one part
but when you change your note
you change the whole chord.
