About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Settle into Brighton before i start studying in September...

ABOUT ME

Cheerful and enthusiastic.

PHILOSOPHY

In a large and very ancient forest lived many animals.
Life there was relatively tranquil and the animals lived to the natural order of things.
Eating what came from the forest, drinking from the clear streams, being born, sleeping and dying.
One day there was a forest fire.
The animals ran to safety while the fire raged and destroyed their home.
Dismayed, they watched from a distance and observed a little hummingbird as she stopped and turned back,
She went to nearby stream and scooped up a drop of water in her beak.
Then she flew back towards the fire and dropped the water on it.
The animals looked at this crazy little creature and shouted at her 'what are you doing?' as she turned to scoop up a second drop of water,
She paused for a moment and said, 'I'm doing what i can'.
