finding beauty in a broken world

"I've come to think of the goal of a healthy, sustainable community/nation/planet that's fulfilling to live in as a mosaic made up of many, many small pieces. Each group, each action, each initiative can add one or two tiles to the picture, and the trick is being persistent and having faith that enough other people, folks we'll never meet, will be making their own separate efforts and adding another tile here, another there, and that it will all add up."

From Sam, the biology adviser.
