Even in a small way...

By Vichara


What good is saying something if you do not do it? Altruistic thoughts are inspiring but unless there is an action that results, they are empty. Take the very small seed that may form while you read this or at sometime during the day and take even a small step forward with it. All great adventures start with the smallest step forward.

Did you know?
Today, an acre is generally considered to be a unit of land measuring 43,560 square feet (4,047 square meters). Before that standard was set, it's believed that an acre represented a rougher measurement -- the amount of land that could be plowed in one day with a yoke of oxen. Both "acre" and today's word, "agrarian," derive from the Latin noun "ager" and the Greek noun "agros," meaning "field." (You can probably guess that "agriculture" is another descendant.) "Agrarian," first used in English in the 17th century, describes things pertaining to the cultivation of fields, as well as the farmers who cultivate them.
