It all started with one drop. Who cares, right?
He probably does.
It's a different story when the drops decide to work together...
Like this friend of mine in Thailand, that I shot at work during the monsoon season, the strength of "one" doesn't compare to the strength of many working as one.
Some days didn't stop at knee deep water. Sometimes in these storms the water would rise to our bumpers. Driving our cars would produce a wake behind us like a boat. When we passed another car going the opposite way, our wakes would create a wall of water that would rise up and over the hoods of our cars.
Being part of a family that stretches backwards forever, my strengths and weaknesses are inherited - and refined and defined by me - to carry the tradition of passing them along to my future generations.
One improved value choice, one kind deed, "one" selfless act may not seem a big deal, but if we all look for a way to help someone else's life be a little better because we were there, and s/he pays it forward... well that could really be something worth opening an umbrella about.
It starts with "one" and others will follow.
Be the one...
over and over again!
