Sometimes, it feels like I’m on The Titanic.
I make a little dent by calling a spade a spade or donating to a good cause or offering a heartfelt good deed, and I’m down a few hours later, wondering...

What are my efforts doing?

Am I helping anyone?

Am I somehow doing more harm than good?

I have unique gifts to offer. I can see holes in systems. I’m willing to learn. I have a great support system. I have access to any information I want. I have a little authority. And a lot of reading hours under my belt...many more to come.

I’m one of the Whoville citizens, shouting my truth.

If enough of us thoughtfully and bravely state our needs and point out the injustices, the world will keep changing, little by little, for the better.

Building Company Theater put on Prognosis: Poor today, 12.9.18, for Syracuse’s medical students and residents. I brace myself now, hoping it made a helpful impact for those who experienced the play.

I’m going to keep shouting.
