"When I got home my sneakers were full of sand and I dumped them on my bedroom floor. I didn't know the difference, I was six. My mother screamed at me for the mess, but he wasn't mad. He said that billions of years ago the world 's shifting and ocean moving brought that sand to that spot on the beach and then I took it away. Every day, he said, we change the world.Which is a nice thought until I think about how many days and lifetimes I would need to bring a shoe full of sand home until there is no beach. Until it made a difference to anyone. Every day we change the world. But to change the world in a way that means anything, that would take more time than most people have. It never happens all at once. Its slow. Its methodical. Its exhausting. We don't all have the stomach for it.".
