http://www.tikkun.org/tikkundaily/2010/02/06/good-deeds-on-a-small-scale-3/ A Voice for Tikkun Olam (healing the world) Thu, 09 Feb 2012 13:04:30 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 http://www.tikkun.org/tikkundaily/2010/02/06/good-deeds-on-a-small-scale-3/comment-page-1/#comment-5974 Lita Kurth Sat, 13 Feb 2010 22:28:37 +0000 http://www.tikkun.org/tikkundaily/?p=9911#comment-5974 Thank you! I've been thinking a lot lately about letting go: of unneeded clothing, of old fears and outworn attitudes, of saved stuff that grows more and more absurd as the time I have left to use it in diminishes. Why not send it out into the world and maximize its use, trusting that mainly it will do more good out there than in my house? And regardless of every individual outcome--some results might disappoint me-- it's better to risk failure than do nothing. Quite apart from where the stuff ends up, I end up stronger. Thanks for the comment. :-) Thank you!

And on several levels; it's good to be reminded that even if we don't actually see the fruits of our giving (like your check to Haiti and the many people in San Jose who gave to José) we have to trust in the value of it. And like you say, worry less that the "result is just right." ¡Here's to José! How inspiring!
