Small Steps

 

                We all know: it’s been a rough few years. Pandemic responses, growing inequality, climate change, school classroom chaos…the list goes on. Many of us feel like we are fighting all the time on all fronts, and losing.  I certainly do. The conversations at my house often spiral into despair. What do we do in the face of so much Work To Be Done?

                Sunday night, I went on my school email to post a note about the Great Tomato Giveaway. There was a chat from a ninth grader. I succumbed and opened it. “Hey,” it read, “we made a compost container at the track meeting today.” Complete with a photo of a small mound of orange and banana peals.

                Small steps.
