Remember the Daffodil Principle? One woman kept planting and planting, day after day, a few more daffodil bulbs. Time passed and she didn't quit. Small bits of effort multiplied and then: 50,000 bulbs burst into bloom each spring on the land surrounding her home.
With dibs and dabs of time, she'd made an art work with the impact of a mountain view. This one woman had become a force of nature.
I'm thinking of this again because I was just asked to e-mail my NC legislators asking for funding for the NC Arts Council. On the occasions when I take a moment to do such things, I'm half-thinking that I'm just wasting ten minutes.
However, a dab of my time, a dab of yours, and extraordinary things happen. People and places bloom.
Though it may not always seem so, everybody's dab is crucial. Don't forget to add yours, maybe even daily, to the world changes you want.
And, if you live in NC or have any interest in the arts here, click here to take action. It probably won't even take you ten minutes.
