Fire the Grid is an outstanding concept. If you are moved by the devastating climate changes that are destroying the fragile micro-ecosystems of the barrier islands in North Carolina, USA, or soldiers spilling blood in the street and losing their lives over little more than oil - never to return to their children and parents and life partners, or the crack of an unloving hand across a child's tender face so that child learns to perpetuate the violence, then promise yourself, if nothing else, that you will find love in your soul to contribute to this unprecedented event.

All of us, here, have found, or are looking for, gratefulness. I challenge each of us to step up; be part of those that will not welcome the hate and anger. None of us can save the world on our own. But, now we don't have to. We can save our little village. Only if we do it together.

"Snowflakes are one of nature's smallest, most delicate creations. But look at what they can do when they stick together."

Good Morning, Arow,

What a very very special quote "Snowflakes are one of nature's smallest, most delicate creations. But look at what they can do when they stick together." How very true! Your post contains so much wisdom for life. Thank you so much for sharing it. As Francis of Assisi said, "Let there be peace on earth; and let it begin with me." If each of us daily put effort toward removing the anger, resentment and revenge that touches the edges of our lives, whether socially, at work, or in our personal relationships, the world will change. How much each of us contribute to the excesses and wars and violence and global warming through our way of life. Thank you for reminding us, as Francis often did, and Shakespear did ("The fault dear Brutus lies not within our stars but within ourselves"), and Scripture "Remove the plank from your own eye before attempting to remove the splinter from another's." that we each are that tiny little snowflake. By taking care in our own lives and in our own little village, united can bring tremendous change.
