War is an Ocean... The tides ebb and flow.
No one person can see the full breath and depth of it.
All we see are the small waves we make as we add our drop to the body of water. We can see it's ripples as they spread from the place we make our stand---- we do not see them reach the shore, we so not see them interact with other ripples in their path.
Yes some ripples in this Ocean of a War are stronger, -causing waves to crash over us at times. But every ripple is important and makes an impression on the shore. The shore is where the people stand- too scared to step into the water- seeing the waves crash over those making ripples. Fearing the tide that might carry them far from home forever. You are in this ocean for them... Never forget that...
So - my friends - ALL my friends- observe your ripple. Follow it as far as your eyes may see. Watch for those around you - if they go under pull them back above the water. If they falter, buoy them. If they run to the shore- do not judge them.
The sand under our feet will shift- the Tide will change- the waves will crash and at times overcome us- but know this... Your ripple matters-
