@dentangle I think it is an old story from Portugal. I very much like it!

LB: I've been thinking about that story a lot lately as I've been raising monarch butterflies. It feels like such a small action in a world that needs so much help but it does make a difference and it's something I actually have the time and energy to do.

@dentangle Well, I like oceans, and I like being thrown, so you present an enticing offer!

@dentangle Thanks for sharing this. I needed to hear this today... Do you mind if I add that to my (somewhat public) collection of quotes?

@dentangle she flings seashells from the seashore. Seriously though what a lovely parable.

@dentangle I feel like Schwarzenegger needs to deliver this before chucking a Villainaire out of a helicopter into the ocean. Did I just coin #Villainaire?

@dentangle I can think of some people I'd like thrown in the sea but that's not what you meant...

@dentangle I use that analogy all the time. If we're each the girl (and take care not to be the man), we can collectively do great things (and individually too).

@dentangle I used a version of this as a prelude to a eulogy I gave to a very dear friend some years ago. He was such a gentle man, one who made a big difference to so many aspects of our lives through, what a random observer might think were, very small actions.

@dentangle can you boost my post explaining the situation and how I need to get my family out and get us emergency visas? I’ve got to get money for that somewhere and even before the hate storm came down, nobody wanted to hire the blind kid.
