One thing

I wanted to fix it all.

Wanted so badly to roll back the horrible.

Can’t do it. Can you?

Didn’t think so.

I can’t unwind all the malicious, destructive and just plain wrong-headed things happening today, this week, this month.

I just can’t.

And neither can you.

And that’s okay. It’s okay to say can’t. It’s actually sort of liberating. And even necessary.

Important note: I did not say won’t. Said can’t.

You need to say can’t to clear away enough of the haze to see your way to can.

Because – and please believe this - there is a path to can.

It doesn’t wend its way through dozens of issues beyond my control.

The path to can runs straight through clarity and commitment.

One thing.

I can choose one thing

I’ll make it my thing. The one ship I can turn. (Okay, help turn.)

One really important thing. Yes, yes, they’re all really important.

But I’ll choose my one.

And get started.
