One shall chase a thousand...

There’s something demanding about the stillness of the night; as if it knows his need for rest and demands that he has it. And if he impales the stillness with the incessant noise and raucous clamor of a mind ever ill at rest and in doing so he refuses to let the night bring what it does, the night will remain still but his soul will not.


I am one man, but I am still a man. I sure can't do everything, but I can, at least, do something. I can't possibly be everywhere in the world where there is need, but I am at the moment somewhere there is, at least, one need. I can't change everyone around me, but I can change me, by changing my perspectives. It is obvious I cannot reach the universe, but I know I can reach out to those I meet and am able to get to know. I am not just one man; I am a man that is empowered to make a difference in the world around me. So, I have to stop complaining that I am unable to see a clear path ahead. I just have to go ahead and do what I can, without knowing where it might lead - one person at a time.
