little

does my everyday life reflect the strongest passions of my heart?

proverbs 28:19 - as water reflects a face, so a man's heart reflects the man.

i wish my living did a better job of expressing my longings.

my heart for the people of my generation, my willingness to start a revolution, defeating stereotypes, and conquering hypocrisy. creating a love for the unlovable, and a source of strength for the weakest of our society.

sometimes i feel so little. i feel like standing on my tiptoes to get what i need to accomplish greatness.

but, i think that greatness is accomplished through "little".

the other night on 60 minutes (no, i'm not 74, and yes, my dad had the remote in his hands), there was a segment on this elephant orphanage in kenya. i've never really had a thing for elephants, i mean; babbar was pretty awesome, but - they've never been my absolute favorite or anything. the thing that caught my attention more was the elderly woman maintaining the orphanage. she was sacrifice personified. for the last fifty years of her life, she has dedicated her time to providing a safe haven for orphaned elephants. it sounds kinda funky at first, but when you saw the caring in her eyes, and the passion she had to help this potentially extinct species, you just melted a bit.

she is helping the world in the weirdest of ways. who would have thought to open an elephant orphange? she did, and not only did she think about it, she did it. the orphanage continues to thrive.
i can't help but think where we'd be if this world possessed so many driven beings.
