    Do not try to savethe whole worldor do anything grandiose.Instead, createa clearingin the dense forestof your lifeand wait therepatiently,until the songthat is yours alone to singfalls into your open cupped handsand you recognize and greet it.Only then will you knowhow to give yourselfto this world so worthy of rescue.
