Okay, first of all, get your mind out of the gutter. Second, I'm talking about my perspective. Lately I have been driving myself insane about food and environment issues. Today, I sat in the Taylor-Meade auditorium and listened to two speakers from opposing sides of the issue give their perspectives and answer questions. The result?
It's all too big. I can't get my mind around it. I listened to both sides with equal parts concentration and interest, but I found myself wandering back to my office afterward in a daze. I opened my vegetarian lunch and began surfing the web a bit. I hit Google up for some local news on my hometown and I was surprised at all the information it brought back to me.
Well, this led to a thought. What if I narrow my perspective a bit? I can't think globally, hell, I can barely find my keys half the time, but I can think locally. I can think in terms of my community. I can think of the activities, the politics, and the capacities of my own town, my own county, my own region. I need to find a way to turn my passions into action and I think the only way to do that is to "think small."
