If we just worry about the big picture, we are powerless. So my secret is to start right away doing whatever little work I can do. I try to give joy to one person in the morning, and remove the suffering of one person in the afternoon. If you and your friends do not despise the small work, a million people will remove a lot of suffering. That is the secret. Start right now. ~ Sister Chän Khöng

to be

all the while
amazed by your
courage and strength

for just one moment
i would take you under my wing

if i knew that
you would be kept safe
and your hope preserved
through nothing other than
being present with you
in this moment
