....Greek guy called Heraclitus. He's reputed to have said 'History is a child building a sand castle by the sea, and that child is the whole majesty of humanity's power in the world.' A wise old man, it seems. Then again, did he say it? Many of his writings are lost to us, apart from where other philosophers have quoted him.
But there is still a nice sense of perspective here, and it may prove very helpful for any of us to keep such a view in mind when we evaluate the importance of a plan or project which is perhaps taking more energy and concentration than it may deserve.
No river can return to its source, yet all rivers must have a beginning. (Native American Proverb, Tribe Unknown)
