  • Each of us contributes our own piece to the whole, each in our own way, each in our own time with the gifts and talents that are ours.

Dance. Sing. Farm. Cook. Create something beautiful and then give it away. Find your own monkey wrench and use it with the force of love. Sharpen your pencil. Vote.
