Charles Eisenstein: “So many people squelch the expression of their gifts by thinking that they must do something big with them. . . . [this] invalidates the small, beautiful strivings of the bulk of humanity; invalidates, paradoxically, the very things that we must start doing en masse to sustain a livable planet.
