Sometimes I am at a loss for what to say about the shit show we call the United States. There are so many assaults against decency and democracy that I haven’t got a clue as to where start. I’m forced to ask myself, “What can I do? I’m just one tired old man.”
It was like that, this morning.
I listlessly thumbed through several books on my desk and nothing touched me until this appeared.
The Humming Bird – a Native American Story
Once there was a great forest fire, and all the birds and animals rushed to escape.
Humming bird went to the river and collected a drop of water.
The other birds laughed.
“What are you doing?” they asked.
She replied, “I am doing what I can.”
I’m doing what I can.
