I conduct maintain no persuasion where the paradigm came from; I conduct maintain never persuasion well-nigh this earlier this time. Suddenly in that location popped into my caput the curious question, what if I were a drib of water? It was non raining outside. I was nowhere close running water. Perhaps it was God’s gift to me or I actually am going crazy! I prefer to intend it was the former. God gave me a question---albeit a curious question. What if I were a drib of water?
There are ever a yoke ways of looking at something: beingness together with doing. If I were water, that takes help of the beingness aspect. If I were water, together with then I am (be) water. The “doing” aspect is to a greater extent than intriguing inward this case. If I were water, what would I do? Of course, the obvious answer is I would larn things wet! So the enquiry is, if I am a unmarried drib of water, what exercise I desire to larn wet? H5N1 unmarried drib is non much water.
If I were a drib of water, what could I exercise to brand a difference? Maybe it is because I am a farm boy, but the answer came to me. I would autumn on a small-scale seed. It could live on a bloom seed. Because I was a farm boy, I knew the necessity of around wet to brand seeds germinate, accept origin together with grow. If I were a drib of water, I would conduct maintain ane chance. I could autumn on ane house together with entirely once. So I would province on a bloom seed together with promise for the best.
With that unmarried act, I would live on the promise for a flower. The bloom seed has the potential for beauty. But until that potential is actualized, beauty volition never live on unleashed. H5N1 unmarried drib of H2O powerfulness live on all the difference. It is a small-scale act. It would seem insignificant inward the bigger picture. But without the wet of the unmarried drop, fecundity is non possible. H5N1 unmarried drib of H2O has a correct to feels its potency---its powerfulness to brand a difference.

Let turns this piddling imaginary storey into an analogy. Let’s assume each ane of us is similar that unmarried drib of water. On our ain nosotros may non live on real much. I don’t know how many drops of H2O in that location are inward the oceans of the world. That let on would conduct maintain an unbelievable let on of zeros! I exercise know in that location are to a greater extent than than vii billion people inward the world. So past times myself, I am non much. But similar the unmarried drib of water, I tin forcefulness out potentially brand a difference.
To brand a difference, I withdraw to hold back for a “seed” to water, but similar the unmarried drib of H2O makes a divergence alongside a bloom seed. H5N1 “seed” is whatever potential province of affairs where my interest volition brand a difference. It could live on a fiscal gift of mine. But a bigger divergence usually comes alongside my personal involvement. Money tin forcefulness out live on fairly impersonal and, inward around ways, does non terms also much.
You tin forcefulness out brand a divergence past times bringing around beauty inward the world, but similar the unmarried drib of H2O commenced the bloom seed’s evolving into a beautiful thing. Or y'all powerfulness conduct to operate inward a trend to convey judge to a province of affairs where injustice looms. There are all the same also many places inward our civilization where injustice rules the day. H5N1 piddling interest past times y'all or me powerfulness live on plenty to alter the situation. We’ll never know unless nosotros try.
One final affair occurs to me, every bit I ponder the question, what if I were a drib of water? It occurs to me I conduct maintain entirely a yoke choices: exercise something every bit H2O or exercise null together with eventually evaporate! Only the commencement selection has whatever run a peril of making a difference. So the betoken is to exercise something.
H5N1 drib of H2O could autumn into the ocean. That would live on a squeamish experience of unity for the drop. It would straight off live on purpose of a huge drib of H2O called an ocean. But that is non much of a difference-maker. Rather, the unmarried drib of H2O is improve off looking for a province of affairs where it tin forcefulness out brand a difference. On ane bloom seed, it tin forcefulness out brand a profound difference---a transformational difference. H5N1 tiny seed tin forcefulness out perish a bloom of beauty. That seems miraculous.
So it is alongside y'all together with me. We tin forcefulness out conduct to exercise null together with inward a comparable trend to water, our lives tin forcefulness out evaporate. We tin forcefulness out live, brand no divergence together with Pb a life of profound insignificance. Or nosotros tin forcefulness out opt for a trend of living that makes a difference. Perhaps nosotros tin forcefulness out uncovering a house to brand a divergence that no ane else tin forcefulness out do. H5N1 woman raise does that alongside a child. H5N1 instructor tin forcefulness out exercise it alongside a student. H5N1 manufactory worker tin forcefulness out fifty-fifty exercise it alongside a exceptional approach to his or her ain work.
The brand a divergence is to invite transformation inward the house inward which nosotros uncovering ourselves or alongside the people nosotros uncovering ourselves. Transformation does non conduct maintain to live on dramatic. It does non conduct maintain to brand the 6:00pm news! Again, intend of a unmarried drib on a tiny seed. It would live on difficult to enjoin anything happened. The transformation would live on hidden together with slow. The H2O would disappear together with arrive appear that the H2O had no effect. What a error that supposition would be!
So my challenge together with your challenge is to figure out where nosotros tin forcefulness out exercise comparable transformational operate inward our situations. Personally I conduct maintain a adept run a peril alongside students. They seem to live on my “seeds.” Find your ain scene together with perish to work---to your transformational work.
