Everyone's heard this quote: "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed people can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has."
She should have said this: "Never doubt that changing the world requires hard work, setback, frustration, and anger. Indeed, those forces applied over too long a time are the only thing that ever has."
Nowhere near as catchy, but she probably could have said it more eloquently.
Seriously though, she didn't mean your drum circle has to visualize world peace, people.

Heck yeah! I think people see that quote and think it's enough to be thoughtful and committed, or even just committed to being thoughtful.
Though who am I to talk?
Anyway, keep up the good work friend and let me know what I can do to help (you know how much I love sending care packages...)
When there was a TOP in Philly, there was a quote on Ajayi's door that was something like "The most frustrating part about all this is that we have to keep fighting and winning, and all they have to do is win once and we lose all the beautiful places we have fought so hard for."
Basically, we have to keep winning every day, and all They ever have to do is win once.
Sux that I'm so lazy.
