When the world goes dark, sometimes we have to become lights. We may be dim by ourselves, but enough of us can change things.

We may not be able to fix a dying government, or a world that's largely forgotten the horrors of war, but we can help today in our community, and locally.

It may not be enough, but it's something. Maybe those of us aware enough to be frozen in frustration, disappointnent, and even fear by today's events need this the most. Become a light to someone, some people, or many.

I guess this is a journey of a thousand steps sort of thing, which aims to avoid the death by a thousand cuts.
