To perform the smallest decent act
when no one is looking
requires a great vision.
It requires that one be able to see the ripple effects
of one's actions across time and society
and to grasp the full sphere of one's influence accross the ages
It is to be a citizen and not merely a consumer
It is to know that the world must be made better by the doer, now
and not by others that the doer must wait for
It is to recognize that the joy of the smallest decent act
is the substance of a life worth living that is worth more than diamonds
It is to live in supreme gratitude for the present moment
and not to pant with ravenous thirst for an ephemeral future
that is always just around the corner
It is to "live the change" as the Diggers once spoke of
To perform the smallest decent act
when no one is looking
is to be a revolutionary
