Noah

In the Bible story of Noah and the Ark, the people of the world had messed up, gone off course as to the care of the world and one another.  So God is going to destroy it all.  But Noah has a chance to save something for the future.  He is a singular figure who has to have great faith that he can make a difference.  People ridicule him, but he daily pursues his course of building the ark and collecting pairs of animals.  The rains come and the earth is destroyed along with all who were living in it, except for Noah and the inhabitants of the Ark.  What a story for ecology.  People are messing up and not loving the earth and seem indifferent to many cultures, if not hostile.  You think yourself a singular figure who can do nothing? Powerless to make a difference ecologically or culturally?  Think of Noah.  One person can make a difference.  It might be you.  Recycle anew.  Be kind to the stranger.  You never know.
